Shindo to Kondo

Just wondered if anyone has switched from Shindo to Kondo and what differences there were in sound quality?

Have a great Eastern and enjoy time listening to music.

So for the price of a Kondo integrated, you can almost have a full Shindo system... not sure but I think that both brands are not aimed at the same people.

Jérôme.......I tend to agree with your point. The two brands are targeting different audiences.

Kondo Overture Integrated - $33,900

The Kondo Kagura, a 211 parallel single ended monaural power amplifier that delivers 55 watts looks very impressive. They look to be true works of art. I have never auditioned Kondo components but after viewing their website I have a new found interest, not that I can afford amps in this price range.

Kondo Kagura power amplifier ($198,000 per pair).

I have to admit, since I've seen the Souga in person, I can't put it out of my mind very well... :scratch2:

Dan, you are making it worse... :nono:

Fortunately I don't have the money.
Or is it unfortunately?

Bart.......Nearly $79,000 for 8 watts per channel is a little more than I can muster. That doesn't even count the preamp, sources and speakers. I will have to remain on the sideline as a spectator.
