I wish you luck. That would make a very expensive doorstop.
Looking for advice - Mola Mola Kaluga amp has no output
Hello all and happy Easter. Hoping to get some tips from experienced Agoners. My Mola Mola Kaluga is giving some trouble - no sound. It is powering up but is cold to the touch even after hours. We were out on a weekend vacation and when I returned it was on standby mode (maybe power failure). It is plugged into my PS Audio Stellar Powerplant 3. I am completely puzzled because it is powering up fine, i changed the fuse as well, to no avail. Any clues from Mola Mola owners out there? I have written to Mola Mola and awaiting response as well. Thanks in advance for any help!

Please unplug your Mola Mola Kaluga amp from all electrical power, wait a full 5 minutes. Plug it back and see if this works. If not, I suggest you call your retailer. If not possible, send another email to Mola Mola. Call them if possible. A better solution is to call: Distributors USA AND CANADA GTT Audio av@gttaudio.com
More suggestions: Based on the search results provided, the Mola Mola Kaluga amplifier does have audio output, but there may be some troubleshooting steps required if the user is experiencing no output: 1. Verify the mains connection and check the fuse. If the power cable works with another device but the Kaluga does not power on, the fuse may need to be replaced.[1] 2. Check that the input switch on the Kaluga is set correctly to RCA or XLR, and verify the speaker wiring is connected properly between the positive and negative terminals.[1] 3. Inspect the speaker cables for any shorts or issues that could be causing distortion or interruptions in the sound.[1] 4. Ensure the Kaluga is not in standby mode - the power LED should be lit white when the amp is on.[1] 5. If the 12V trigger input is being used, check that it is properly connected and that the trigger is activating the Kaluga as expected.[1] If the user has followed these troubleshooting steps and is still experiencing no output, the Kaluga may require service or repair. The manual advises contacting the local retailer if the unit is not functioning as expected.[1] [1] Kaluga Power Amplifier User's Manual

@hgeifman thanks for taking to time to respond. I have followed all of the above and its still non-functional. At this point it is evident to me that this needs repair. Let me wait to hear from Mola Mola. The fact that the units are powering up but are cold to the touch, and fuse isnt doing anything, means there is little i can do at this stage....thanks again. |
Please call Bill Parrish from GTT. He is the USA Distributor for Mola Mola and is very helpful. His email address is av@gttaudio.com I emailed him your Audiogon post. |
