Angeboten wird „G70i“ von Kondo als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Röhren-Vorverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 4476450523 endet am 06.07.2026 um 06:03 Uhr.
The Kondo Audio Note Japan G-70 linestage preamp is a rare gem in the used market, prized for its simplified take on the flagship M1000MKII circuit with 6072 tubes and NOS GE 6X4 rectifier—often bundled in high-end stacks but seldom solo. Typical used examples in decent shape trade between €15,000 and €22,000 EUR, depending on tube condition and provenance. At €19,950 EUR, this sits squarely in the fair zone, not a steal but reasonable if it's low-hours and authentic.
Buyers should verify tube life first—those Electro Harmonix 6072s wear out and replacements aren't cheap at €300-500 EUR each—plus insist on service history or a recent recap, as Kondo's simple power supplies can develop hum from aging electrolytics. Confirm the original Kondo power cord and any matching stands are included, and have a tech check for proper biasing to avoid nasty surprises.
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.
