Offered is „KSL ACz Avocado 1 Meter“ by Kondo as second-hand device from the category „Power Cords“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1847499115 ends on 02.01.2027 at 14:18 o'clock.
The Kondo KSL ACz is notable for its unusually refined, natural presentation rather than an obvious “hi-fi” effect. At €1,580, this is a strong deal: it sits below the €1,691 25th-percentile comparable and well under the €1,801 median, making it a bargain if the listing is accurate and the cable is authentic.
Kondo’s silver-conductor cables are valued for tonal density, clean definition, timing, and an unforced sense of musical flow—especially convincing with acoustic music and revealing systems. The upside here is access to a scarce, high-level interconnect at a genuinely attractive used price. Check the exact length, RCA termination, direction markings, and connector condition, but these are sensible authenticity and compatibility checks rather than reasons to back away from the deal.
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.
