Kondo KSL-Neiro Power Amplifier

The Kondo KSL-Neiro is an 8-watt stereo amplifier. It uses parallel 2A3 output tubes. It is the smallest, lowest powered, and least expensive of the Kondo amps.  Now with KSL Technology.


The output transformers in the Kondo KSL-Neiro are wound with age annealed copper and comes with 2 pairs of ultra high quality SWT-20S silver speaker binding posts. The KSL-Neiro is the kind of amplifier that a music lover can be happy with for the rest of his or her life !

 

Kondo KSL-Neiro

 

Kondo's KSL-Neiro power amplifier in the new millennium is a fusion of the Ongaku integrated amplifier reputed as one of the world's best amplifier and KSL-Neiro - built to extract the maximum sonics peculiar to 2A3 tubes.

A one-of-a-kind superb output transformer (OPT) is responsible for a lot of the magic in the KSL-Neiro.

 

Kondo Audio Note Japan has spent 10 years to solve how to obtain the sound equal to 'silver wired' OPT by means of copper wired OPT. Through trial and error, Kondo has at last discovered a new wire winding method in KSL technology.  10 years in the making.

 

KSL technology was first developed as a line cable, which received raves as being sonically superb after it was marketed. The KSL OPT was developed in the same configuration as this line cable. The KSL-Neiro features natural smoothness and fine separation where each note and tone is truly felt.

 

Conventional single-ended amplifiers have 'much distortion' because of non-linearity of a power valve and 'much distortion in low frequency range' due to lack of inductance as a result from allowing audio signals (AC) to flow together with DC to the OPT.

 

KSL-Neiro has solved both problems by parallel coupling of 2A3, resulting in low inner resistance of 800 ohms, as well as doubling the output power thanks to a skillfully designed circuit structure.

Kondo KSL-Neiro-L (Line) Integrated Amplifier

Many Neiro users have requested to have an additional feature, an input selector.

 

Kondo has responded  with the KSL-Neiro-L (Line) amplifier version.  This is a line amplifier (integrated amplifier) with 3 input selections docked to the amp's front area and voltage amplification stage.  The KSL-Neiro-L is a full integrated amp with active pre-amp, 2 tubes more than the power amp version.

 

Through this, Kondo gains higher sound quality with a resultant increase in cost than using a separate line amplifier. The looks reminds one of the legendary ONGAKU.

 

The KSL-Neiro-L is the same as the KSL-Neiro but with a built-in line section composed of 2 x 12 AU7s. This configuration can provide an affordable entry for our new fans but still get a complete Kondo Audio Note Japan sound.
