This listing is for a brand new KONDO Audio Note Japan SOUGA stereo power amplifier which uses 2A3 vacuum tubes in parallel single ended configuration for an output of 8 Watts per channel. It is brand new and sealed/unopened in its original wooden factory box.
I ordered this amplifier in late 2011 and asked the authorized US Kondo distributor to keep it for me after its production. Now that my plans for a new stereo room seem more distant than ever, it is time to let it go. It is the current SOUGA model and there has been no revisions or changes on the model since its production.
This is really a unique and excellent opportunity for a music-lover to enjoy new legendary KONDO gear at a very attractive price. It is probably near impossible to come across new KONDO gear as even used ones are rare to come by and highly sought-after.
As far as how it sounds, I have not heard this amplifier and I ordered it solely based on my wonderful experience with KONDO preamplifiers.
There are a few reviews online for this amplifier and here is a link to one at High Fidelity magazine. http://www.highfidelity.pl/@main-375&lang=en
