This is a rare buyer’s market for Kondo power amplifiers, and the €75,000 asking price for the used Kondo Audio Note Japan Kagura stereo amplifier is a strong bargain, sitting well below the 25th percentile of €76,135 from your ground-truth comparable listings. At this level, it’s not just fair—it’s an excellent deal for a flagship Japanese tube amplifier that typically commands well over €150,000 new.
The Kagura is legendary for its parallel single-ended triode Class-A design, delivering 50W per channel with breathtaking tonal purity and dynamic presence. Its use of 211 tubes and refined silver output transformers gives it a “music of the gods” quality that few amplifiers match. This listing offers original-owner condition, likely including all original accessories, making it a timely opportunity to acquire a revered, ultra-rare masterpiece at a price that defies typical market expectations.

# Kondo Audio Note Japan
Kondo Audio Note Japan was founded in 1976 by Hiroyasu Kondo, a metallurgist and son of a Buddhist priest whose technical expertise and philosophical approach to sound reproduction shaped the company's identity. Based in Japan, the brand has maintained its independence and commitment to handcrafted manufacturing for nearly five decades, recently adopting the "Kondo" name to reflect its founder's central role in the company's vision and legacy.
The brand is renowned primarily for vacuum-tube amplification, particularly its legendary power amplifiers and preamplifiers. The 1989 Ongaku power amplifier stands as a watershed moment in high-end audio history, establishing Kondo's reputation for sonic refinement and technical innovation. The company also manufactures integrated amplifiers, preamplifiers like the iconic M7 Heritage, and proprietary capacitors—all produced through meticulous, point-to-point hand-wiring and manual assembly processes that prioritize component quality over production volume.
Kondo Audio Note Japan occupies the ultra-premium tier of the hi-fi market, commanding prices that reflect its artisanal manufacturing, exotic component selection, and uncompromising design philosophy. The brand appeals to dedicated audiophiles and collectors who value emotional engagement with music reproduction and are willing to invest substantially in equipment that combines technical excellence with aesthetic and sonic character. Its reputation rests on exclusivity, heritage, and an unwavering commitment to analog-era design principles adapted for contemporary listening.
