Building the Audio Note Ongaku Amplifier

Any vacuum tube audio enthusiast definitely know the most famous Audio Note Ongaku amplifier but I am sure there is not many people have a chance to listen how it sounds. This amplifier has been declared as one of the best ampifier in the world and reviewed by Dick Olsher, Alvin Gold, Jonathan Kettle, Mike Kuller, Lynn Olsen and many others.

In case you have not seen it, here is the photo.

My interest in building this amplifier came after I attended a demostration on this expensive Ongaku in a large scale Audio show. I am very impressed by its sound as it was so musical and sweet. In the demostration, it was connected to a Audio Note M7 pre-amplifier driving a pair of horn speakers although the Ongaku is an integrated amp.
