Description :
The Audio Note AN-OTO is the predecessor of the well known Audio Note OTO SE. The AN-OTO was built during the time when Audio Note Japan and England cooperated together. Therefore, the AN-OTO model's logo bears similarity with the current Kondo hifi logo. As the shown in the history, Audio Note England later took over the company, resulting the Audio Note Japan faction went to start Kondo hifi. The Audio Note AN-OTO is rare in the market and information about it is scarce. The Audio Note AN-OTO is of a push pull 12 watts design with dual power supplies. It is incorporated with a tube mm phonostage. Like old Audio Note designs, the inputs are at the side of the amplifier instead of the back. This side input design could also been seen in the old Audio Note M1 and M2 preamplifier models. As info is scarce, the sound characteristics of the AN-OTO should be similar to the OTO SE design.
