Offered is „Kondo G70 I“ by Kondo as second-hand device from the category „Tube-Preamp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1252460582 ends on 14.11.2026 at 07:11 o'clock.
Good condition at €19,000 puts it essentially at the €18,755 median of the 44 comparable listings, so this reads as a fair buy, not a bargain or an overreach. It is comfortably above the €5,417 25th percentile but far below the €37,458 75th percentile, which is exactly where a solid, saleable asking price should land for a desirable piece.
That makes sense for a Kondo: these are respected for refined, low-fatigue sound and serious build quality, with a loyal following that keeps used demand steady. In good condition, the upside is mainly in getting a well-kept example of a niche, high-end Japanese component without paying top-of-market money. I’d still want the usual ownership details—original box, remote, service history, and whether anything has been recapped or modified—but nothing here suggests a red-flag 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.
