Offered is „KSL-Vz II Cinch in 1,5m Silberkabel“ by Kondo as second-hand device from the category „Cinch Cable (Analog)“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3606481932 ends on 21.11.2026 at 11:46 o'clock.
Good condition makes this look fairly priced rather than cheap: €1,490 sits right around the going level for a KSL-VzII 1.5 m RCA pair, with one recent ask also at about €1,490 and another clean used example at €590 for a shorter 0.75 m run. That puts this listing in the fair-to-reasonable zone for a desirable Kondo silver interconnect, not an obvious bargain, but also not ambitious if it’s complete and verified.
The appeal here is straightforward: these are highly regarded for transparency, tonal density, and that effortless, unforced Kondo presentation that can make a strong front end sound more continuous and alive. If the plugs are original, the length is the standard 1 m to 1.5 m range, and the cable is genuinely clean, this is the kind of used buy that makes sense for someone already shopping at this level.
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.
