Otomon Labs. Soundgate Japan


Has anybody purchased an amp made by Ken Uesugi from Otomon Labs/Soundgate in Japan?
I’m seriously thinking of getting a 2A3 amp, but keen for any feedback. Everything I’ve read looks good, but buyer experience is invaluable. 
Thanks in advance.

Very very high recommend tube amplifier maker. Recently, I ordered VT-62 tube amp, this one > http://soundgate.net/product/MTQ2NQ...highend

Ken 's service is very very good, he is very kind, response my mail very fast. But the most impressive is quality of product. This is one of the best amp that I have heard, sound is really incredible. It impress me much from the first time as hearing the fist note of music from the amp, and it is getting better and better every day. Im very satisfy about this amp.

I have been keeping my eye on the thread as I had ordered a 2A3 amp and asked for some customization. Excited to report back. 

Communication was great and easy. No issues. I frequently visit Japan and was able to arrange for a free local delivery about six weeks after I placed the order. I picked up the necessary tubes while in Japan so I would be able to listen to it when I immediately got home.

Amp was packaged quite well and there were no issues checking it in with my luggage. Unpacked it all and plugged it in last week. WOAH! Legit blown away by it. Really really really happy with my purchase.

I had a friend come over this past weekend to do some A/B with his custom 2A3 that he had purchased from EIFL a few years ago. Ken's outperformed! My friend is now looking into purchasing his next amp via Sound Gate.
