We are a USA importer of Flying Mole amp, pre-amps and integrated amps.

The DAD-M310 monoblock amplifiers are is Flying Moles most powerful reference audiophile monoblock amplifer. The sound is very sweet, detailed and accurate. If there were a comparison to tube amps it would be to SET amps, but with 10X the power. In fact, they lose absolutely nothing to tube amps, even S.E.T.s, and have all the advantages of Class D with a switch-mode power supply: speed, dynamics, bass control. Truly the best of both technologies!

Plus they have absolutly no RFI which causes interference for some Class D amps to AM, FM and phono sections of ones system. You can set a table radio next to the Flying Moles.

They will light up speakers from Gallo, Von Schweikert, Usher, System Audio, and other fine manufacturers. You will be delighted with the sound.

The DAD-MD310s compete evenly when compared head-to-head against the NuForce Reference 9 V2 Special Edition (SE).

They will challenge any amp, at any price - they are that good!

How much for the DAD-M100pro HT and what about availablity? I've been waiting for almost two months for one of your competitors to get some in stock.
I've finally given up on them. Also, do you have a return policy? Restocking fee?

[William Crane]

We sell a new pair of the DAD-M100pro HT monoblocks for $810 including USA shipping. You will get them in about three business days. At this time, sales on them are final.

ICE? UcD?

[William Crane]

None of the above, or of anybody else’s technology. Flying Mole is also an OEM company of its modules. They were the gang of engineers that developed Yamaha’s Class D amplifier before starting their own company in November, 2000.

They are fifth in amplifier sales in Japan after well-known big companies like Accuphase, Luxman, Technics and McIntosh.

Interesting...What is the topology of the amp?

[William Crane]

Their words are "Bi-Phase PWM (3-Level PWM) Amplification" and "Dual (Analog & Digital) NFB ensures isolation from AC Power Voltage.” Otherwise, they have not released anything else on their technology.

I can say that there is no interference with FM, AM or phono stages as is the case with another Class D amp also using a switched-mode power supply.

[William Crane]

We have added order pages to our website for the Flying Mole amps:

DAD-M310:

DAD-M100pro:

Note that since the DAD-M100pro comes in a choice of unbalanced (RCA inputs) or balanced (XLR inputs), we will ask you of which you want before processing your order.

Curious as to how you would respond to the Stereophile review of the CA-S10 in the June issue.

It's the first bad review I've read in that magazine since I can remember...

WEEZ

[William Crane]

It is a mixed review, not a bad review. I haven’t had a CA-S10, but it sure sounded great at C.E.S. with Green Mountain loudspeakers.
