I am hoping to get some feedback from anyone who has heard a Mola Mola Makua preamp with the Luxman m900u amp. The obvious choice for me would be to get the Luxman c900u preamp but I am trying to save on the number of components since this will be an office system is a smallish room. I can squeeze in the c900u + an additional DAC box but aesthetically it would be better if I could consolidate the preamp and DAC into 1 component, such as the Mola Mola Makus w/DAC..
I have considered the Luxman 509x integrated and after an audition it was not preferred compared to the Luxman 900 series separates. I have not heard the Mola Mola Makua with the Luxman gear. I have heard Mola Mola Makua with the Mola Mola amps. I am not interested in those amps and want to get the Luxman m900u amp., which I liked a lot.
I was told by one person that Luxman m900u sounds better with the Makua preamp over Luxman's c900u. However, there are some biases in that persons evaluation. So I am looking for some more feedback from anyone who may have tried this combo.
