Angeboten wird „KSL-KEGON / parallel single-ended 300B, similar Ongaku“ von Kondo als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Röhren-Vollverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 8331782664 endet am 13.06.2026 um 03:18 Uhr.
Kondo's parallel single-ended 300B KSL-Kegon amps, kin to the legendary Ongaku, command respect in the used market for their transformative soundstage and tube magic, but pricing reflects rarity and condition. With our recent comps showing a median of EUR 18,500 (EUR 4,878 to EUR 31,690 range), this EUR 38,000 ask in good condition sits ambitious—well above the 75th percentile—likely pricing in low hours or provenance, though it demands negotiation or proof of excellence to justify.
Buyers, verify tube matching and hours on the 300B outputs (mismatched or high-mileage ones fail early, souring the honeyed mids). Confirm original Kondo wiring, no mods, and full accessories like the stock power cord and manual; skips here often signal deferred maintenance on transformers, a known weak spot in these beauties.
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.
