“Mola Mola’s Lupe could be the last phono stage you’ll ever need”, says Adam Smith at Hi Fi News, because “there is very little that it won’t handle.” Awarding the magazine’s highest ‘Outstanding Product’ gong in the January 24 issue, he congratulates MM’s innovative and “hugely flexible” phono preamp for being “compatible with the vast majority of both cartridges and recordings”. When you add this peerless versatility to a BT control app that is “logical and easy to use”, and sound quality that is “absolutely first-class”, the result is conclusive: “if you’re serious about your vinyl replay, then there are very few other MM/MC preamps offering this level of performance and flexibility at any price.”
