The Kondo Audio Note SOUGA amplifier is a meticulously handcrafted tube amplifier featuring a completely new driver circuit design that maximizes the potential of 2A3 tubes like never before. With modular construction and the use of original components and Kondo’s silver wiring, it delivers an unparalleled level of sonic fidelity and craftsmanship.
High-Quality Circuit Design
The amplifier employs a parallel single-ended output circuit, striking the perfect balance between sound quality and practical power output. This design optimizes power delivery, ensuring a rich, warm, and detailed listening experience.
Full Copper Chassis
The chassis is constructed entirely of copper, not only enhancing its aesthetics but also contributing to a more open and vibrant sound. Copper reduces interference and preserves signal purity, ensuring superior performance.
Pure Silver Output Transformers
The output transformers feature pure silver coils, hand-wound by skilled technicians. Their advanced multi-layer structure and internal multi-compartmental design ensure rich, direct, and highly precise sound reproduction. This design captures the finest nuances of music across the entire frequency range, from deep bass to shimmering highs.
Silver Capacitors
The amplifier is equipped with capacitors that use pure silver foil electrodes, handcrafted by **Audio Note**. These capacitors are specifically designed to eliminate potential oscillation that could muddy sound at high signal peaks. The result is a clean, natural, and distortion-free sound.
Original Silver Wiring ("SSW")
The internal wiring uses pure silver conductors. Each conductor is wrapped in natural silk to reduce unwanted vibrations, serving as an insulating layer between the conductor and its PVC outer jacket. This design preserves signal integrity while enhancing durability and system stability.
1. Parallel single-ended circuit for optimal balance between sound quality and usable power.
2. Full copper chassis that contributes to open and dynamic acoustics.
