Hello all

Only a trickle of interest in these amazing little beasts so far - 'you have been warned!!!'

Once these hit the UK HiFi and Home Theatre magazines I'm sure they are bound to find lots of homes in HiFi, Home Theatre and Multi Room set-ups.

The October Issue of Widescreen Review has great review of the Flying Mole Digital amplifiers - I usually pick up a copy of this US magazine at out local 'Borders' outlet!

Hello Jon

I've not received your PM as yet! Maybe simpler to send me an email - see my Public Profile for details.

Joe, Just to record a thank you for the home loan of the Moles. As you heard they worked well on the Gallo A'Diva and Micros for AV purposes, but also did very well on the HiFi front, as a bi-amp add-on, making those JM Lab Electras sing.

Joe,
About to send you a PM.
Any chance you are still doing a deal on a 5x setup of these units?

[Joe Fernand]

Hello Adam

The offer is still valid and we can now deal direct with the team at Flying Mole in Japan!

Best regards

Joe

Hello all

2,900 views, 8 replies and finally some sales :)

The Flying Mole DAD-M100pro and Cascade series are excellent power amplifiers (no matter the size) and offer an affordable upgrade path for anyone with an AV Receiver looking to enhance their system.

We have recently teamed up with the folk at Flying Mole in Japan which means we now deal direct with the Factory - allowing us to reduce the prices we offer these units to our UK and European customers.

We now offer AVForums members the DAD-M100proHT, BB or BI models at the incredible price of £270.00 (ex UK delivery).

For two channel or multi channel use these are a bargain and the small footprint, low heat dissipation and low power consumption means your making further savings when enjoying your Home Theatre.

See http://www.flyingmole.co.jp/en/products/dadm100pro/

Best regards

Joe

Update - I've just received a small quantity of DAD-M100Pro literature (New 2005 print run); if anyone wants a copy please send me an email.

[Big Adam]

Well a nice big parcel arrived today! (Not slow delivery, I just asked Joe to delay the despatch for me).

On unpacking, my first reaction was "Blimey". Being used to hernia inducing power-amps and receivers and generally judging an item's quality by it's weight, it's a bit of a quantum leap to be presented with an amp not much bigger or heavier than a paperback book! :eek:

That said, these things are nicely screwed together and the real test will come at the weekend when I hope to complete my install. Will report back with pics then.

Just got to say a big thanks to Joe. I plugged him with a ton of questions and all were responded to quickly and with patience. Top stuff! :thumbsup:

Hi Joe,

I'm toying with the idea of 'enhancing' the power amp section of my Arcam AVR300. This is a weak point with the AVR300. The obvious choice is an Arcam P90 power amp, but I tested a couple of these littles fellas last year and was suitably impressed. The footprint and efficiency are plus points.

How much for two of these units currently?

What is the warranty/support?

Regards

Mark

[Joe Fernand]

Hello AndoverRed

You have a PM.

Best regards

Joe

[welwynnick]

Fascinating.
What's the sound quality like compared with the usual multi channel power amps, like Arcam, TAG, Parasound, and er...Atlantic Technology etc?

Nick

[Joe Fernand]

Hello welwynnick

The Flying Moles will hold their own in most company - I guess like anything else you would want to try the DAD-M100pro HT with your loudspeakers if you have a particularly odd load.

I run my own Moles with Anthony Gallo Reference 3 loudspeakers - though they do also get pressed into service with Micro's, A' Diva's and Due's along with some AT and LINN kit I have here.

I've supplied them to folk with PMC (who use the Moles in some of their 'active' loudspeakers), Martin Logan, ProAc, KEF and a few others - I forget them all.

I've seen them reviewed with a pretty wide range of loudspeakers and not heard of anyone having a disaster with them.

Best regards

Joe

Hi Joe, thanks for the quick reply.
The Flying Moles will hold their own in most company -
I've seen them reviewed with a pretty wide range of loudspeakers and not heard of anyone having a disaster with them.Hmmmm. Isn't that damning with faint praise?

I was pleased to see your mention of Martin Logans, as I want to use them with Final electrostatic speakers (a bit a challenge for an integrated amp)

The few reviews I have seen have been very positive, but I just want to qualify them. I have a Denon AVC-A1D at the moment. (Assuming I bought a modest processor) would the FMs represent an improvement?

Cheers, Nick

[Joe Fernand]

Hello welwynnick

One advantage of the DAD-M100Pro HT is that demo units can be shipped relatively cheaply - always best to try them with your loudspeakers I guess!

Best regards

Joe

[welwynnick]

Good Point!

Could I borrow a demonstration pair for a few days?

BR, Nick

[Joe Fernand]

Hello welwynnick

I'll PM you tonight.

Best regards

Joe

[Sniper]

Just inquiring:

Is the Flying Mole Multichannel power amp available? Am I right in thinking this is a 'user' configurable amp, with modules PM-162d & PM-301d? What would be the prices?

Cheers.

[AndoverRed]

Hi Joe,

Do you still deal with the Flying Mole power amps?

If so, what are the current prices? I'm looking at getting some additional amplification to drive a pair of Castle Howards/Linn Ninka's.

Regards

Mark

[Joe Fernand]

Hello AndoverRed

The PowerBuy pricing is still current and yes were still supplying the Moles!

Best regards

Joe

[welwynnick]

Some good reviews of the Moles here:

There's a good one in Widescreen Review somewhere, too.

[cheechy]

Joe,

My curiousity is getting the better of me - do you have a couple of these I could demo?

I would pick up and drop off when and if available?

Let me know

Cheers

[BearUK]

I thought, correct me if I'm wrong, that although digital amps were getting better, they still left something to be desired compared to analog(ue).

While any decrease in the size (and weight) of an amplifier is good news, I'm still disappointed by the number of boring black and silver boxes.

The moles just don't look good. I'll keep my Pathos Cinema X for now.

[Joe Fernand]

Hello all

cheechy - yes we have a couple of pairs of DAD-M100proHT we use for demo stock.

BearUK - like all things Audio its subjective; some folk like Valves some folk hate them, the same is true with Digital amps.

At the Bristol show this year we were running a very low cost 'lo-fi' system compared with most rooms yet we were getting great reviews from visitors.

In terms of looks the Flying Mole DAD-M100pro is a small functional box that produces zero heat so doesn't have to be 'on show' - you can easily hide them away at the rear of your loudspeaker and run long screened cables from your Pre/Processor and short Spk cables (which seems like an ideal solution - for some).

Best regards

Joe

[cheechy]

Joe / John at TMF,

Thanks greatly for letting me have a shot of three of these wonderous little boxes over the weekend. The great authority and control they possess certainly does not match the small footprint!

Ultimately though it seems that my MF A3.5 Stereo amp is not a good match for the flying moles. I think I may have problems trying to find a suitable match here - but dont let that put anyone else trying out these amps. :thumbsup:

[grimep]

Hi

I'm interested in these little amps, just checking you are still supplying them at the last quoted price on here.

I want to drive a pair of PMC DB1s, and possibly a DB1 centre speaker as part of a 5.1 setup yet to be specced, so would welcome any recommendations for either a 2 channel preamp, or a multi-channel pre that would give a very pure hi-fi sound with Flying Moles and DB1s.

cheers

Hi grimep
I have 5 M100proHt mono blocks running PMC GB1s and GB1c and Mordant short Avant 902i rear speakers.My front end is Bryston sp1 this set-up is a huge step up in sound quality for me compared to the Pioneer AVR the only down side i have found with these amps is they can be a bit on the edgy side when new though i now have 50 hours on them they have improved a lot.
I found they are fantastic for surround sound with great detail and quite good in stereo not to far behind the Bryston B100 SST that I tried at home as well but are a bit fussy when it comes to power supply,all there edginess Disapated
when connected to torus power supply and stratus 5 power cord.
Hope this helps a little ;)

Hi Joe
I have 5 flying mole amps I don't quite agree on your statement that they Produce zero heat? When I first read that statement I was a bit concerned as
mine had a reading of 42c and I thought something was wrong with all 5 off my Moles the Manual States [low heat generation-case temperature is approximately 43C with a room temp 25C]
By the way I am very Happy that i came across these great amps they Give a big clean detailed sound stage for a small investment and the space saving size is fantastic:smashin:

[stuman]

looking to pick up a pair of these maybe on this payday if the price is around £450? is that possible? how would it compare to cyrus 6 series power amp?

[Joe Fernand]

Hello stuman

UK Distribution on the Flying Mole gear has just recently changed hands.

UK SRP is now 299.95 GBP per mono block; its VERY unlikely you'll pick up a pair New for 450.00 GBP.
