Angeboten wird „KA 300B (Takatsuki Electric Industry)“ von Kondo als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Röhren für Endstufen“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 4595714536 endet am 21.09.2026 um 16:47 Uhr.
Kondo’s 300B gear sits in the serious-endgame corner of the single-ended amp world, where price is usually more about rarity and execution than output power. At €2,400, this looks well below what Kondo Audio Note Japan 300B amplifiers typically command on the used market, so if the amp is complete and healthy, it reads as a strong buy rather than an ambitious ask.
The appeal here is the usual Kondo one: exquisite midrange tone, very fine low-level detail, and a natural, uncrowded presentation that makes vocals and small-scale acoustic music feel alive. That kind of ownership experience is the whole point of these amps, and a clean used example at this level is especially interesting if it’s original-owner, unmodified, and includes the right tubes, manuals, or packaging. I’d only slow down for practical checks on transformer noise, tube condition, and whether it has been serviced recently.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# 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.
