Offered is „MELIUS“ by Kondo as second-hand device from the category „Tube-Fullamp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 8660913900 ends on 15.11.2026 at 13:38 o'clock.
This is a serious piece of Kondo gear, and the asking price sits in the fair-to-strong zone rather than bargain territory. At €24,950, it is above the €15,531 median but still below the €30,316 75th percentile, so it reads as a solid market-level ask for a desirable used example.
What makes it worth a close look is the usual Kondo draw: refinement, tonal density, and that effortless low-level resolution that rewards a revealing system. A good-condition listing matters here because these pieces are often bought to be kept, and originality, service history, and included packaging can meaningfully support value.
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.
