Thats quite an interesting read indeed. I heard the big Kondo against my friends big Transendend preamp on a pair of Thiel CS6 driven by a unknown tube amp builder in Zurich. It sounded fantastic and the Transcendend was extremely close which is quite good especially since it only cost about 9000US which is still quite a bit cheaper than the big Kondo here.

Are you planing on coming to the big High End show next year in Munich?
