"At many times the asking price, the Soulutions are among the most expensive solid-state electronics I know of. They are also among the best I have heard. The Mola Mola more than acquits itself by way of their spatial beauty and unabashed openness.
This folks is Class D at its best. Unfortunately, the illusion of the Mola Mola sounding as magnificent as the big Soulution gear didn't happen. I was somewhat surprised at how much better the Soulution rendered high-frequency resolution in particular. Cymbals had a fabric that was much closer to the real thing. I was not however embarrassed to think the Mola Mola could sound so close to the Soulution. In fact, I am happy to report that I think the Mola Mola have a familiarity that, to these ears, is a closer match to the Soulution than say McIntosh. That something this exciting is on the horizon will obviously bring about lots of discussions as to what others think of Mola Mola. For this music lover, I was duly impressed and felt that, for the money, Mola Mola is hands down the company to keep an eye on in 2013. Unless, of course, you're from that other stratosphere and have the extra Moolah to spend on Soulution."
So an amp at $55,000 edges out a amp costing $15,000. WOW, what a surprise!
If you read the whole quote above and read between the lines it was close.
Also it is my understanding that the above Mola-Mola amps are not finale production versions and that there might be some improvements made in the finale production run. However, even if that is not the case they still gave the Soluton a run for the money.
Do not misunderstand me, I think the Solution is one of the best, but the price, ouch.
Jackman, you must get over this misconception on the Case work adding this huge cost to the price of the OEM NC1200 amps. Not so much. You are barking up the wrong tree. Oh, I just made a funny, no pun intended.
As an example the Tube Research Lab NC1200 amps Case work are nothing special and retail for $9,000. See photo.
