Hello folks, I received my IO XP 2 days ago. With the Kondo SFz SUT, this makes a sound made in heaven. I could not write better than this : High Fidelity I loved my AN UK IO 2 but Kondo is truly in an other league. Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk

Hello folks, Just a few words of my last audio discovery. The old Decca FFSS mk1. We are back to 1958. They must be rebuilt by John Wright in UK, the actual Decca boss. Unfortunately, John will retire in october. So if you are interested in trying one you should hurry. An old audiophile...

Hello folks, I received yesterday a Kondo Ongaku amplifier. Using it with the Kondo KSL M77 « Ongaku pre » preamp. Just listened for half an hour this morning. Best sound I ever had in my house. The Kondo Overture and GE-1 phono amp went in the living room. Kondo all over the house...

Hello folks, Just received this integrated amp today. Listening to it since 2 hours. The sound is mesmerizing. There is an incredible musicality in this amplifier. Tons of weight and presence and finesse. While still being extremely fast and dynamic. I have NOS tubes but I first want to...

Hello folks, I am using this combo in my living room system, with the Audio Note AN-J Spe / Hemp / Silver coils speakers. I first received the K5 XE MP preamp. And used it with my Shindo CCQs monoblocks. The sound was extremely satisfying. Not as rich sounding as with a Shindo preamp, but the...

Hello folks, Just a few words about this great SUT. The MC4 replaced the Bob's devices Sky 30 that I used with my Urushi Vermillion. In my system, with an experienced audiophile friend, we found the MC4 to be much more refined and natural sounding than the Sky 30 Cinemag SUT. The voices...

Hello folks, I just had the opportunity to buy a very nicely maintained Pink Triangle Anniversary with a SME V arm. Actually what made me buy it was the SME V. The whole combo, with a huge Fadel Art phono cable ( costing about 1000 euros alone ) and a Siltech power cable, was proposed at 3000...

Hello folks, I am looking for the user manual of this preamp. I have the opportunity to buy one and since the gain and impedance of the cartridge are selectable by switches inside the preamp, I need the user manual and the seller does not have it. If you have one or know someone who owns...
