Goldmund, not much inside, but ultra expensive.


Is judging Goldmund products on what’s inside them fair? If it’s, then what are you paying for? There’s nothing but space inside most of their equipment. Not only is there nothing inside them they’re ridiculously expensive. Look inside their Nextgen 590 intergraded amp $29000. There’s nothing inside.
To be fair, I must say I’ve never heard their equipment, so maybe it’s worth what they charge, but judging it from its inside It looks like it isn’t.

I think with Goldmund what you are in large part paying for is a level of R&D that few others can approach.
Look inside their Nextgen 590 intergraded amp $29000. There’s nothing inside.

I've had a look buddy. It's rather packed inside.
(a bit late to this, sorry)

I find it really strange to judge a hifi component by how much air it is in the box. I also think that if the manufacturers would shrink all boxes to the minimal size someone would complain about that instead. But it is especially strange to target Goldmund with this complaint. They have many different amps and some of them do fill most of the space. I assume someone has listened to various models and noted that the more expensive ones are better, otherwise they would be really hard to sell. I know 6moons thought a Telos model was better than the simple Job amp (their "low price" line). I also remember reading about them years ago, they would not sell their upper price offerings unless they found you a worthy audiophile. You had to have a serious system before buying theirs. They had a waiting line for the products they produced. and did not want to sell to someone who did not appreciate their hard work and the sound quality of their products.

And if the amount of air is your biggest problem you can buy the Goldmund Telos 5500 (Nextgen), problem solved!

And here is what it looks like on the inside:
