Angeboten wird „Kondo KSL SFz“ von Kondo als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Plattensp. Zubehör“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 7321521602 endet am 14.08.2026 um 17:45 Uhr.
Kondo’s SFz sits near the top of the brand’s step-up-transformer lineup, and €8,500 looks good against the current used market rather than just acceptable. New and dealer pricing in the results clusters around €10,900 to €14,875, with a published list price of €12,000, so this asking price is clearly below that level and feels like a solid buying opportunity if the unit is genuine and complete.
What makes it worth chasing is the usual Kondo appeal: very high-end silver-wound transformer design, a reputation for effortless gain with excellent tonal purity, and enough status that clean examples tend to stay desirable. If the condition is genuinely good, this is the kind of piece where original packaging, cable, and low-hassle provenance matter because the upside is strongest on a well-kept, complete unit rather than a tired orphan.
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.
