I happen to own ONGAKU amp of Audio Note Japan, which Velvet who is a inmate here listen to, when I was connecting the Ongaku with my PC.
I can say Ongaku is not bad amp, or rather excellent in imaging and soundstaging. You can get a glimps of what the best system sound like.
For a amp designer it would give some idea of what he must attain. Although I can not find a speaker suited to it, but in a deep at night when everytiong are silent. I can feel as if I were transported to the original recording venue where the playing CD was recorded.
For an audiophile this is too good to be true, but unfortumately I am rather a music lover, who listen to all the genru of classical music from Monteverdi to Morton Feldman as well as some new mainstream Jazz.
Recently I listen to Mahler and the likes that require grate dynamics range, to which IMHO a small powered SET amp is not particulary suited.
It had been so strange that the ongaku amp was so venerated in u.s, that had been asking around the WEB the reason why, so I am well aquainted with Steven E. Rochilin before the time he created his WEB site, and Tamabra Baker etc. Had I not own the ONGAKU amp it would have been impossible for me to get aquainted with those person. And finally I found the reason why mu Ongakun did not sound good. It was because that ONGAKU amp has inverted absolute polarity. Peter Qvortrup wrote to me "most of Mr. Kondos amplifiers are phase inverting due to the number of active gain stages (3) in his SRPP - Anode follower - Cathode follower driver - output stage, this is no problem if you use one of his pre-amplifiers, because most of them are also phase inverting."
