Overview
Goldmund - Mimesis 37S
Mimesis 37S - Analogue Preamplifier
The Goldmund Mimesis 37 Signature is the latest Goldmund high-end line analog preamplifier. It uses the ultra-low noise analog technology initially developed for the Mimesis 22S. The efficiency of this technology has been proven over many years and enables the Mimesis 37s to produce the cleanest sound one can dream of. The Mimesis 37S uses a separate power supply unit with 4 separate circuits and 2 successive stages of power regulation. It benefits from a full dual-mono construction with processor-driven linked attenuators. It is delivered with 7 inputs -5 unbalanced and 2 balanced- 1 unbalanced tape loops, and balanced and unbalanced analog output circuits.
The Mimesis 37S is an heir to the Goldmund analog preamplification tradition. It represents a very sensible investment for any analog system as it will remain without equivalent in audio circuit and sound quality for the years to come.
