Offered is „Operia SPc-2.5“ by Kondo as second-hand device from the category „Speaker Cable“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9143152237 ends on 22.12.2026 at 08:30 o'clock.
The listing’s age is not a drawback here: the Operia SPc-2.5 remains the established copper model, rather than an obsolete generation. At €1,200, it is a strong deal against the wider comparable set: comfortably below the €3,657 25th-percentile figure and far under the €15,091 median. Model-specific references also place complete pairs around €1,099–€1,400 used, depending on length and accessories, reinforcing the bargain verdict.
These cables are well regarded for a natural, fluid presentation, with eight-core pure-copper construction and Kondo’s silver pin or spade terminations. They are especially appealing in an expressive valve system, where they can preserve tonal colour without sounding etched. Before buying, confirm this is a complete stereo pair, check the exact length and termination, and establish whether the box, certificate, and original connectors are included. At this price, clean condition and correct completeness make it a very worthwhile buy.
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.
