Kondo Ongaku

The Kondo Ongaku is not an ordinary amplifier, but an icon within the absolute top of high-end audio. We have added this legendary tube amplifier to our range and has been set up permanently to introduce customers to what many consider to be the most musical amplifier ever built.

 

With its fully hand-crafted construction, internal cabling of Kondo's own silver and the use of carefully selected components, the Ongaku embodies the pure philosophy of Kondo Audio Note: maximum emotional involvement and musical truth, without any technical appeal.

 

The single-ended triode configuration with 211 end tubes delivers a representation that is distinguished by unprecedented naturalness, harmony and spaciousness. The Ongaku does not play loudly to impress, but convinces by finesse, texture and an almost tangible presence of voices and instruments. Music flows effortlessly, organically and full of life.

 

We have the Kondo Ongaku consciously permanently available for demonstrations, so those interested in peace can experience what makes this amplifier so exceptional. A listening experience that goes beyond hi-fi and is a permanent reference for many.
