Have you tried Red Wine?

Hi Gordus,
I will post some pics as soon as I get the unit back from Utah. I'm very excited about this amplifier! I hope it can at least match the sonics of my Audio Sector integrated. Hopefully it will exceed the Op chip amp! :-)

This is something the ClariT nor RWA Teac could do. With over $500 just in parts, it should be several steps a head of these two units. Not that better parts will always equate to better sound,but I'm sure it doesn't hurt.;-)

Gordus that's a lot of power for batteries!!! I've read the UcD's are excellent amplifiers in the right systems also. In the future, I hope to be lucky enough to hear one.

By the way, thanks for sending me the Empirical Audio modified Electrocompaniet ECD-1! If people think digital is fatiguing, they haven't heard a Dac like this one!

Small world GMood :-) and I thank you for the sending the Red Wine Teac and SN's! What would we do without that lonely dog, eh?

I run the Druids with Flying Mole class-D monoblocks (100wpc). I love the sound - very clear, very low noise, slamming bass. I've modded the Moles with BG input coupling caps, Multicap PP output caps (it's the only film cap I could get to fit easily), bypassed volume control, IXYS HexFRED rectifer, Cree SiC switching diodes, better binding posts and RCA jacks. They run cool, and I leave them on 24/7. Great value for the money IMHO (~$400 each unmodded).
I have a Suprateck Chenin on order to see what putting tubes in the chain will do for me.

Ait,
I had a pair of the Flying Moles. The only modification did to them was bypassing the volume control. I'm sure your modded versions are much better than stock. I found mine too analytical and bright on the speakers I used at that time. They were clear though ..I'll give them that. Those BG caps do wonders for sound! I'm sure your mods brought some balance to these little amplifiers. I've ran mine on a friends Eminent Techs 85 dB efficient Hybrids. The Moles ran them pretty darn well and sounded good doing it. I never really understood what class amp the Moles are...D class or what?

Gordus, I don't know what we would do without that old lonely dog. He's as good as they come!

The Moles are class D switching amps, run at a very high frequency. As I did the mods, I listened intently for changes at each step. The BG caps extended the high frequencies, making them sound even brighter, but when I added the Multicaps to the output instead of the little stock stacked film caps, the bass improved dramatically and the entire presentation became much more balanced. I wouldn't do the BG input mod without also doing the output mod - I used the Multicaps because they have a flattened shape and can lay across the tops of the switching diodes so I can get the covers back on; other PP caps were just too big to fit into the very small case.
