Offered is „Kondo Audio Note Japan LS-41 Silver Phono Cable - DIN to RCA - Latest Model - Theme Armcable“ by Kondo as second-hand device from the category „Phono tonearm cable“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1228232495 ends on 02.01.2027 at 18:42 o'clock.
Good condition materially strengthens the case here: at €2,800, this is a strong deal, sitting below the €3,211 25th-percentile mark from 64 comparable asking prices and far beneath the €11,194 median. For a clearly identified LS-41 Armcable, that is unusually attractive rather than merely fair.
The appeal is the construction and intended application: pure-silver conductors, silk-wrapped multi-strand cores, braided shielding, and the proper 5-pin DIN-to-RCA termination in a 1.2 m tonearm cable. Kondo’s LS-41 is prized for low noise, transparency, and a natural, finely resolved presentation, particularly with demanding low-output MC setups. Verify the exact DIN wiring, connector condition, flexibility, and presence of the original packaging or certificate, but assuming those check out, this looks like a genuine buying opportunity—not an ambitious cable listing.
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.
