    Ongaku - Is it worth the money!!

    Hello Ron, at a show we would most likely bring the Nika due to the size of Vista. Malta is a custom project still under construction and built specific for the owners. It is not a speaker that can just be brought from one place to another but rather built and designed to the room.

I became the Distributor after the old distributor Fred brought an earlier version of the GM70 to compare it to my Ongaku The latest GM 70 is significantly better than the earlier one. I do not represent Kondo but...

    Hello, The Belden interconnects sound fantastic with the Destination Audio Gear. I have also tried them with other systems but with not as good of results. Destination Audio chooses to use lesser expensive cables to voice their equipment therefore many high end expensive cables will not sound as...

    I must be missing something because I can’t find what you are talking about. I wonder if it’s because I’m on an iPhone? Maybe I need to do it from a computer?

    Yes I sure am. I really like the sound of the Copper plates. Graphite plates sound good too but the copper is more my taste.

    Yes this is a lot of fun. I love comparing the two amps as well as playing with the cables. Currently I am using XerXes interconnects which I’m liking the most. And I just put in a pair of Tekline TL650 speaker cables which are copper. They are inexpensive and sound fantastic. This might be my...

    Hello, You are very welcome. Both amplifiers are quite outstanding. I’ve had many ultra high end amplifiers over the years and I have to agree with you. The Ongaku was a dream amp of mine for many years. I always said one day I will own one. Well I finally got it and love it. When I got it I...

    Hello, the difference in sound between them is quite large. The GM70 sounds much more real than the Ongaku. It also has more attack and speed. And the bass is significantly better. The best way to describe its sound is it is very lifelike. The vocals this amp puts out are unreal. It’s...

    Hello, with the Spartacus we were using the Thrax Audio Libra 300b preamp but we sold that recently. The GM70 from Destination Audio and Ongaku are both integrated amps with built in preamps. But we may try at some point to run the Destination Audio preamp into them. See how it does! it is a...

    Ongaku - Is it worth the money!!

    Well I do have direct experience with this beautiful work of art and I can say it’s among the best amplifiers I have ever owned or heard. Many say it sounds best with a preamp. Although that could be true in many cases I have found I like it best without on our Destination Audio Nika speakers...

    I've been searching for quite a while for the ultimate speakers to go with my Ongaku. I've tried quite a few and have finally found the love of my life. They are the Destination Audio Nika's. 99db 16 Ohm. The match between them and Ongaku is magical. They are the most realistic sounding speakers...

    Speakers for Kondo Ongaku... Please Help

    That's good to hear. Did they play mostly audiophile type music? Or did they have any classic rock? I'm looking for speakers that can play it all. I've been looking at WVL which seems to be liked a lot out there and sounds very promising. Destination Audio,and Classic Audio.

    Speakers for Kondo Ongaku... Please Help

    I would disagree with your opinion of the Classic Audio T3.4 being a lower level than Avant-garde. Classic Audio sounds more real and can play all sorts of music. Avant-garde to me seems to Hifi ish. I have heard Classic Audio several times. I've heard it sound amazing and Ive heard it sound not...
