This is the best version of the Kondo every made, it looks like only 10 were made based on this I found on WhatsBest:

The GakuOn is much more powerful than any of the 300B based designs. It has typically 52-54WPC and can drive real world speakers. The guy who ownes those is a big Kondo fan, who also has the M-1000 mk 1, Ongaku (in another system) and have tried all the amps you mentioned plus Kegon, Gaku-Oh and the latest Kagura - and ended up prefering the GakuOns to all other Kondo amps in his system.

The pair he has is very special and I doubt many people had a chance to listen to it. It is called Gaku-On Shinden and there have been only 10 pairs made to commemorate Kondo-san death (Shinden means 'Temple' in japanese). The real unicorn. The Shinden is the last Kondo-san design, which includes refinements over the regular GakuOn, including different silver output transformers. The amp is even more powerful than the basic Gaku-On (if the word 'basic' can be even used describe $200.000 Kondo amp) and has 62-63WPC - more than any Kondo amp ever had (the new Kagura has 45WPC).

Gaku-On Shinden sound snappier and has better microdynamics than the more mellow sounding Kagura.

This is the pic of a regular Gaku-On II (but the Shinden looks the same)
