GOLDMUND - Swiss Made High-End Audio Equipment

The new Goldmund Telos 400 is just between a Mimesis 18.4 and a Telos 600 in price. It uses the same circuitry as the Telos 600 but its mechanical construction makes it look like a fatter Mimesis 18.4. As The Telos 600, it is extremely fast and optimized to cancel the Time Distortion following up the Leonardo optimization. Only its power supply circuit is smaller and uses 6 separate transformers. It displays exactly the same inputs as the Telos 600 with the same sound quality, and also has the double output to ease bi-wiring.

Probably ideally sized in power and shape to fit practically in any system even of the highest level like a full Epilogue, it finally brings the Telos incredible sound at a more affordable price.
