Mola-Mola Mola Mola Perca
The Mola Mola Perca is a stereo power amplifier in our well-known half size chassis. Capable of delivering 150 Watts into an 8 Ohm load and doubling down to 300 Watts into 4 Ohm, it will drive any loudspeaker with ease, refinement, and clarity.
The ultra-low distortion class A input stages are implemented on a separate board, together with their own high performance voltage regulation.
Taking the NCORE® technology from our mother company Hypex Electronics as a reference point we set out to refine our Class D, self-oscillating principle and feedback concept, resulting in our proprietary Mola Mola Trajectum platform which is also applied in the Mola Mola Kula integrated amplifier.
To cater to a wider range of applications a new gain selection feature is added which enables switching between 22dB and 28dB. The Mola Mola Perca features selectable balanced and single ended inputs, Furutech binding posts, and an on/off trigger connector.

Mola Mola Perca — compact power with reference-class transparency
The Mola Mola Perca is a half-width Class-D power amp that delivers astonishing clarity, control and low noise in a surprisingly small, cool-running package. Reviewers from HiFi News, Positive Feedback and Part Time Audiophile highlight its near‑transparent neutrality, wide soundstaging and exceptional bass control driven by the Trajectum Class‑D architecture.
Sonically it pairs dead‑quiet backgrounds and vivid imaging with authoritative dynamics and low-end slam, making voices and piano notably immediate. Build quality is impeccably engineered for its size, with robust internal PSUs and neat chassis detailing. Ideal for listeners wanting a revealing, system‑building power amp that excels with modern DAC‑into‑power‑amp setups, the Perca offers reference-level performance and remarkable value for its price and class.
Pros
- Near‑transparent, low‑noise presentation that reveals detail without added coloration.
- Powerful, controlled bass and headroom able to drive demanding floorstanders with authority.
- Compact, solidly engineered half‑width chassis with efficient cooling and high‑quality power supply components.
- Flexible connectivity and user controls (balanced/XLR and RCA inputs, selectable gain) that suit a variety of preamps and DACs.

Cons
- Speaker terminals sit close together, which can make large spade lugs awkward—banana plugs are recommended for tidy hookups.
- Very revealing nature can expose upstream system weaknesses or pair less well with some tube preamps, so careful matching is advisable.

Dynamics
94/100
Class-D stereo delivering 150W/8Ω with an extremely low output impedance/damping factor (>4000) and robust internal supply: reviewers repeatedly note effortless drive and headroom ('will drive them with ease', 'shaking the chest', 'massive real-world speaker-driving power'). The amp's ability to maintain control and slam even at high levels and with large floorstanders supports an upper-tier dynamics score; the exceptional damping and reviewers' 'effortless'/'unflappable' language justify the 94 rating.
Soundstage Imaging
95/100
Hi-Fi News specifically highlights 'fabulous focus and soundstaging' and calls the presentation 'the next best thing to having the piano... in the room', indicating exceptionally lifelike imaging and scale. Reviewers report stable, precise imaging with strong depth and focus even with demanding material, which justifies a very high score in this criterion.

Build Quality
92/100
Physically compact yet solidly built with high-grade metal panels, significant power-supply capacitance and tidy engineering ('superbly built and remarkably solid', 'massive capacitors', 'stays cool to the touch'). Stereo chassis (not monoblocks) but clearly premium construction and thermal management earn a strong score while not quite at mono-block reference extremes.
Value for Money
94/100
Both reviews praise the Perca as a high-value proposition for its performance ('serious high-end bargain', 'sets the bar very high for rivals at much higher prices', 'must give the Perca very serious consideration'). With performance rivaling much pricier amps and reviewer-stated retail of ~$9,850 (product listing shows a similar high-end price range), reviewers frame it as a justified premium and excellent value within its segment.
