Since 1988, Ongaku
is the evergreen model of Audio Note Japan. The current production is now using
partial KSL technology (internal wiring). This improved the overall frequencies
response over the older productions.
The Ongaku is
the most popular model in the Kondo range. Manufacturing time is less than
the other models due to the demand and its popularity.

The ONGAKU is the most famous and best-reviewed
amplifier in history and has been declared the best
amplifier in the world in England, the USA, France and
Italy. This is the amplifier that inspired the worldwide
single-ended movement.

The ONGAKU was introduced in 1988 and from that day onward
the world of audio changed forever. This is the pure
embodiment of "silver sound"; it makes you feel the musical
energy expand, you can feel the room pressurize before the
orchestra begins.
This amplifier has been reviewed by Dick Olsher, Alvin Gold,
Jonathan Kettle, Mike Kuller, Lynn Olsen and many others -
the only non-perfect aspect of the ONGAKU that any of
them could find was that they couldn't afford it! Listen....
"Vocal definition was frighteningly realistic...had me
spellbound in disbelief like being confronted with the
master tape...Everything in the performance was exposed" -
Jonathan Kettle
