Ogni parametro è perfetto.

Non ti portano le pantofole come fa il mio cane ad esempio.

Gaku-on and M10 audio note. Ho provato tutti i modelli top:Mark Levinson,Cello,Krell,Cary audio,audio tekne, verdier, jadis,e non esiste nulla che suoni almeno lontanamente bene rispetto ai prodotti Kondo. Se qualcuno si vuole illudere che si possa sentire live spendendo meno,faccia pure... Non è vero che bisogna costruirgli l'impianto attorno,con 50W vanno bene gran parte dei diffusori in commercio.. C'e' chi si compra una casa con questi soldi e allora? C'e'anche chi questi soldi li spende in un mese...

Clean, Good gap filler, dominant performance.

Price, Availability, Could cook an egg on the thing.

Unbelievable, Clean and it fills all the empty holes that most people don't even understand. In response to the first word, it damn well better be, lol. Let's see, you could have a nice house, or an amp, hmmmmm... an instrument that amplifies sound or a place to live??? You make the choice. If you got the money, it's a definate plus.

very expensive.. even a block of gold more cheaper than the amp

Just thinking, on that amp price.. it makes very beautiful sound but I prefer to using the money to build a house than living with the amp and have no place for living (ps: for the reviewer bellow : God''s voice far better than gaku-on, even the amp cannot sounds as good as live performance :) )

Cary audio - more earthly price

Perfection Personified.

None.

I recently purchases the GAKU-ON and am stunned by its performance. Natural Highs, solid lows, and a mid that turns you to sand.

Sounds like God''s voice

Hmmmmmm? Uh, the price maybe?

OK. A quarter-million bucks? Well, I know apartments in Japan are expensive and a man needs to make ends meet, but there is stuff JUST AS GOOD for a TENTH the price. I heard it in a private audio system in Boston, and well, it sounded fine to me, so 5 stars for $ound. I could make the best HT system in the world for the same price, and this is only a tube amp. Oh, value, guess what I will put...

Price, Heat

I heard this some years ago at the Heathrow show. Despite being demo'ed with some smallish speakers (I think Audio Note E which is similar to the Snell) the sound was absolutely amazing, easily the best I have heard at a show. The sound was much better that the big setups by the more famous names.

It is of course doubtful whether any product can match the obscene price and the value-for-money score has to be really low.

I am mainly posting this as a counterpoint to the previous posters who are giving the amplifier a silly performance rating just because they think the price is silly (and it is).
