Hi Felixx,
I try to read everything concerning Kondo (on forum)...and I came across it a lot.
Often people complained that the Kondo hype was unjustfied because they had built according to the schematic with mediocre end results.
But maybe I overlooked the fact that they do not like the
Kondo sound in the first place.
Anyway lets say it is my personal opinion in order to avoid discusion I am perfectly okay with that.
Slight correction it is a cd transport only...
Maybe qualifying soon for posting here since I am experimenting with tubes on the PiTbull Reference CD Transport
I have one of Ari's first simplex he sold the parts for, I have bought the OPT and then I built the rest (of course). Right now I have my Simplex in parts because I built a new chassis this summer as it should have, instead of two boxes.
I know you will be very satisfied with the sound quality of the amplifier performs, one tip do not skimp on plastic film capacitors I have changed them already a couple of times and it got better each time.
Good luck with your build.

It's about microphony, or rather lack thereof, allowing the gear to better transmit musical micro-signals, I guess.
But you have to have a VERY good and transparent audio chain in order to perceive this kind of differences.
Good job you did there...
As promised We (my audiobuddy and I) managed to rectify with tubes the chip supply ...results to my ears a better one then with diodes...warmer musicality.
Anyway now it is worthy to mention in a tube topic...since the are staying.
My cd-transport (transport only...*ahum*)...still on my testboard ofcourse...
Tubes 6CK3

Ohmygodohmygodohmygod...
That is like every electronics project I have ever made rolled up into one.
I am sitting here slack jawed at the beauty and my own non-understanding of it all. Nice.

Ah Aikido.... sure that rings a bell.
Hi brothers and sisters just more of the same. Nothing really to see here. Move along.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

There exists a very nice chassis over there. Maybe a preamp?
Should we have a look at some more pics of it?

I'm a newbie in tubes/amp modifying so I probably done something wrong Anyway; pics on my Yaqin MC-100b bought beginning of Jan 2013. (latest version) I'm very happy with it. Been testing alot of different components/brands and ended up with this (so far).... It plays truly realistic with never ending listening sessions

Chassis stays nearly the same...only with two tubes on it....
This is the old pic of the cd-transport

You're killing us. Where do you get this sh!t from?
