I’ve decided to let go of my beloved Kondo Ongaku. This was one of my dream amplifiers and still is. But do to receiving the Destination Audio GM 70 and the Vista speakers and new Phono on their way I need to free up a little spending cash. I purchased this unit new almost 2 years ago. It is in...
I must be missing something because I can’t find what you are talking about. I wonder if it’s because I’m on an iPhone? Maybe I need to do it from a computer?
Hi Jeff, I’m Im not sure what you mean? Ad a deal disclaimer. Where? I’m new to this forum stuff.
There will be an announcement coming. It will be above the Destination Audio Forums
that I have taken over distribution of Destination Audio. I am also the US distributor of Circle Labs and...
Hello Jeff, I am the US and Canadian Distributor of Destination Audio. I am not a dealer for the Kondo. Use to be a dealer for Audio Note UK for many years and had one of their Ongaku’s . Now I own a Kondo Ongaku. It was one of my dream amp so I had to get one and I like it a lot better than...
Hi Bob, Thank you. Yes I love the Destination gear. I am the US and Canadian importer of Destination Audio. Oh I never said I was a Kondo dealer. I just have an Ongaku which I bought a couple years ago. It’s a great amp!!! One of my Favorites out there. We have banners that just went live and...
Yes this is a lot of fun. I love comparing the two amps as well as playing with the cables. Currently I am using XerXes interconnects which I’m liking the most. And I just put in a pair of Tekline TL650 speaker cables which are copper. They are inexpensive and sound fantastic. This might be my...
Yes, I really love the sound of good SET amps.
it really does have a lot to do with system setup and matching. But when you get a really good SET system singing it’s magical
Hello, You are very welcome. Both amplifiers are quite outstanding. I’ve had many ultra high end amplifiers over the years and I have to agree with you. The Ongaku was a dream amp of mine for many years. I always said one day I will own one. Well I finally got it and love it. When I got it I...
The Spartacus I was using was the 300
I also use to have the older Spartacus 520b as well. As a matter of fact I have a pair of Spartacus 300’s available
Hello, the difference in sound between them is quite large.
The GM70 sounds much more real than the Ongaku. It also has more attack and speed. And the bass is significantly better. The best way to describe its sound is it is very lifelike. The vocals this amp puts out are unreal. It’s...
Hello, with the Spartacus we were using the Thrax Audio Libra 300b preamp but we sold that recently. The GM70 from Destination Audio and Ongaku are both integrated amps with built in preamps. But we may try at some point to run the Destination Audio preamp into them. See how it does!
it is a...
