Hi Chaps,

Apologies for extended absence! Thank you for showing that video from a few years back. The Kondo Ongaku was a great piece which I traded in my Soulution for. In between those times the Onagku got traded for a pair of Goldmund 2500 which were fantastic and still my favourite SS amps. Then these went for a pair of Gryphon Colloseum mono blocks, very nice again. But the tube itch still brought me back and what better than to try the UK Audio Note Ongaku. It sounds similar to the Kondo one but is more warm and mellow but with a midrange to die for. I would love to A/B them in one room!

Oh and yes i still have the Marten Coltrane IIs. Its been three years and I was thinking of changing them but i honestly don't know what could match them. Ones I have considered at the Tannoy Westminster, JBL DD 67000 and YG Sonja III (may be too hard to drive). We shall see. In the meantime some recent photos .

Howie. If I can have that amp with my Westminster I would never go out. Lol

Adam,

I see on your pics that you have Nagra VPA mono blocks .
I run mine with PSVANE WE 845 which are fantastic!

How do you compare these with the ONGAKU.

(Please don't kill me as I don't have the money to buy one!

Best regards,
 
I can't believe I did it!

1995, pristine condition, serviced in 2012 by Kondo (JPN) with change of tubes (Nos GE 211) actually, they have less than 500 hours of use.
Delivered in its original crate. One former owner only.
Excellent trade in with my Nagras VPAs and I broke the money box!!

To early to edit a review, but I will after closer encounter..

Never give up your dreams!

Analogically yours,
 
Holy crap! Congratulations!!!! Dream amps!!!
