I have had the opportunity to hear both the Kondo and Audionote (uk) gear, and in the case of linestages, comparable models at the same dealership. Both sound good, but they do not sound the same (uk linestage sounded a touch more romantic). I don't think it is "widely accepted" by those who know the gear that one is superior to the other. The construction and quality of parts of both are terrific.

I heard that after the split, Audionote (uk) got the proprietary gear for drawing the wire and making the transformers. I don't know if this is true, but for a while, the Kondo stuff was being made with off-the-shelf (Tango?) transformers. The Tango transformers may have been an ideal fit, but I suspect it was more a matter of what was available.
