I heard the Ongaku 20 years ago. Transformed my life - the innocent spectator was gone forever, it started my quest to build such fantastic equipment. Everyone gets fazed by the price. I did not even think about it, only music and inspiration... It was perhaps the best influence I had on my life.

Kondo amps have dynamics, unlike Audio note UK. I think AN UK have gone to far down the less is more in their amps designs. Also their output transformers are not of the same calibre. By the way I don't not own any Kondo equipment. Its just my observation over the years.

Yes high efficiency speakers do have great dynamics, but they also sound whispy on voice, not like listening to a real person. Just my opinion from listening :-)

Agreed. Not many speakers reproduce the human voice better than my LS 3/5A monitors. 😊 Definitely not these JBL (lol). Nice turntable btw.

I see these Ongakus at garage sales and flea markets all the time, may pick one up next time. Think $15 is a reasonable offer? I'd probably go as high as $19.

Buy now or cry later ! I found one at our local thrift store and took him home for 50$. Much too much, I know ! But it sounds so nice on my vintage Bose speakers. They had another one on offer for 30 bucks, but when I came back a few days later it has been gone.

@bikemike11182 жыл бұрын
@@worstalentscout you can read the story in the internet… the AN UK owner was formerly the distributor for AN Japan and invested own money to help the Japanese company as they struggled. Therefore he asked for and eventually received the right to carry the name „Audio Note“ and build their own tube amps under this name….it’s a bit of a weird or special story…I‘ve heard that the Japanese owner and constructor is supposed to be a bit of a „strange person“…but that’s just what I heard from the German AN UK dealership.

Specially aged Italian silver used in the transformers is supposed to make the amp sound better. Not sure what science that is based on.
@acghifiaudio-vinyland78rpm532 жыл бұрын
Silver reduces the DC resistance in the winding which reduces magnetisation in core, flux leak and so on. Could be adressed by larger diameter copper wire but we would have to increase size of transformer to make room for mor winding and a larger transformer increases the problem mention earlier leaving us with the only solution to choose a better conductor than copper leaving us with not so many choices. But silver works fine :) there are books about transformer calculations if you want to do your own math.

Audio Note speakers are ... an acquired taste lets say. If we go for new tech on speakers or improved, how so you include Audio Note UK? That's heck of a rudimentary subpar 2 way meant to couple the notorious box resonances with the room. JBL is innert compared to Audio note, regardless the Alnico magnet (and I do not really wish to discuss materials, less when talking audio note.) I thought you'd go after Audio Vector, or Børresen. Audio Note... dear. Mediocre speakers... you've never heard a pair of JBL Kenrick Resto-mod, have you?
