Goldmund's audiophile-focused preamp packs in new tech, but its price will knock you sideways

Goldmund Mimesis Excellence .

Luxury Swiss audio brand Goldmund is back with more high-end hi-fi with prices to make your head spin and your wallet weep. The new Mimesis Excellence preamplifier is aimed squarely at "audiophiles seeking the pinnacle of sound quality", blending Goldmund's high-end technology and components with some of the most luxurious craftsmanship you'll likely find in the consumer market.

Central to Goldmund's latest preamplifier is the newly crafted Themis audio board, which employs mechanical shielding to block distortive electromagnetic emissions. Through the Themis (which is also modular), each channel processes audio separately, minimising noise and keeping the audio signal cleaner and clearer. Each channel also comes with its own advanced DAC and volume control, again seeking the purest sound at a range of volumes and minimising distortion in the process.
