[edit] Corporate history
Goldmund was founded in 1978 and is still in operation today. The company has since moved its corporate headquarters to Monaco, while maintaining its R&D and manufacturing facilities in Geneva. Goldmund related companies include professional audio companies Stellavox and JOB Systems. Through various arrangements, Goldmund and these companies share technology.
[edit] Goldmund technology
Goldmund's most recent amplifier technology had been a "Job5" circuit (from Jobsys). This amplifier technology is said to have high speed, meaning it has a very wide bandwidth. It is also claimed to have low distortion. As of June 2008, the JOB website states that it has "ceased selling to the public", and current Goldmund electronics claim a new circuit design.
Goldmund's most recent digital D/A technology is Alize 7.
Goldmund "mechanical grounding" technology couples vibration producing components, such as the power transformer to the chassis supports.
[edit] Goldmund products
Goldmund's recent preamplifier and power amplifier lines are referred to as "Mimesis" or "Telos".
Goldmund's recent CD player, CD turntable, or "universal" player lines are called "Eidos". Goldmund sells a $135,000 Blu-Ray player that is only Profile 1.1 (no Internet Access or BD-Live) and has unbalanced analog audio output.
Goldmund's speaker lines are called "Metis" or (higher end models) "Epilogue".
A more cost-effective "SR" line was also offered by Goldmund, which contains amplifiers, preamplifiers and CD players. The "SR" line has been superseded by the current "Metis" line of electronics, and loudspeakers that replace the "Logos" line.
JOB Systems and Stellavox also sell products, though to a different market segment than addressed by Goldmund. The products from these related entities have circuits similar to those used in Goldmund products.
