Kondo Audio Note Japan

The manufacturer states that this model was developed as a linear preamplifier that combines the rich and mature sound of the G-70 with the power of the flagship G-1000.

Kondo Audio Note Japan has introduced the new GE-7i vacuum tube phono preamplifier. The manufacturer emphasizes that the new product is neither a simplified version of the GE-10 model, nor an improved version of the GE-1 phono preamplifier, but offers its own new solution in the field of ultimate correction of the signal from a vinyl record. In the NF type equalization circuit, the SRPP input stage is implemented on the ECC803S tube.

The Kondo Ongaku is a legendary stereo tube amplifier created by Hiroyasha Kondo, the founder of Audio Note. Released in 1989, it has a power of 27 watts per channel and is famous for its unique warm, musical sound, achieved thanks to the 211 straight-channel triodes and numerous handmade silver details.

The Kondo Kagura 2i is the flagship monoblock tube power amplifier with a single—stroke circuit on parallel triodes 211. It uses a complex circuit with 12AU7 and 6SN7 lamps for amplification and a driver stage, providing 50 watts of power with low distortion.

Kondo Gakuoh II is a single—stroke tube monoblock amplifier on 300B paired triodes with a power of 20 watts per channel. The improved classic low-feedback (2 dB) circuit provides lively, dynamic and transparent sound with deep bass and detailed midrange.

The Kondo Melius is a stereo tube power amplifier built on the EL34 using an advanced push—pull circuit. It features precise parameter settings and a low-impedance path for clean and dynamic music transmission. The amplifier is equipped with new silver foil vibration-dampening capacitors, high-quality silver SSW internal wiring, and proprietary Audio Note output transformers.

The Kondo G-1000i is a flagship tube stereo preamp with a unique 50—step volume control and 6072 vacuum tubes. The design uses a copper chassis, silver conductors and capacitors, as well as a proprietary silver-wound input transformer for maximum clarity and sound detail.

The Kondo G-70i is a high-end tube linear preamp with a modular amplifier unit and a powerful power supply. It is equipped with a 50-step volume control on MELF resistors and is built with minimal distortion and noise.

The Kondo G-10i is a flagship tube phono corrector with a separate chassis and independent power supply, made according to the CR scheme. It provides a natural, clear sound with minimal distortion, thanks to its cascaded design and high standards of accessories: copper chassis, silver capacitors and silk-insulated wiring.

Kondo GE-1 is a high-end tube phono corrector with 34 dB gain, powerful power supply and original circuit. Provides a clear, detailed and rich vinyl sound with exceptional musicality.

The Kondo M7 Heritage is a stereo tube preamp with a powerful two—body chassis, built-in MM phono corrector and silver components.

The Kondo Overture PM-2i is an integrated tube amplifier with an output power of 2×32 watts on EL34 lamps, perfectly combining high dynamics and musical expressiveness. The amplifier received a new output transformer with an additional feedback winding, which ensures purity and low distortion (THD of about 1%).

The Kondo IO-XP is a high-end moving coil (MC) pickup with an output of 0.12 mV and a very low internal resistance of 1 ohm. It uses an updated magnetic system with AlNiCo magnets and a silver coil of the highest purity (99.99%).
