6/1 [World] GOLDMUNDから「Telos3500」登場!!!!!!
For those who did not buy the Telos 5000 on time, the new Telos 3500 is THE perfect choice
as it inherited most of the Telos 5000 technical qualities and physical attributes. It promises to
be the new Goldmund Superstar Amplifier, but let us tell you why:
The looks:
The Telos 3500 looks just like Telos 5000, but measures only 2/3 of its height (24”). It is
gorgeously crafted in eloxed aluminum and adorned with gold stripes on the sides and the
Goldmund gold plate on the front panel. The purity of its lines only matches that of the
materials used in its making. It is by carefully selecting the best raw materials and by
collaborating with renowned experts in their treatment that Goldmund can fashion the luxurious
and sturdy look that has characterized its products for decades. This is also what makes their
unique durability. The construction of the Telos 3500 also features the most exceptional
mechanical grounding, similar to that of the T5000 with an extreme rigidity and heavy weight
(>
100kg).
And the brain:
• The Telos 3500 uses the transformers and the capacitors that were specifically developed
for the Telos 5000 (even if in a reduced number) in order to provide the same extreme “Driver
Control”.
• It has also been designed to allow a DSP board option. First introduced with the Telos 350,
this option promises exciting possibilities to use the T3500 with Proteus in a multi channel
configuration.
• It has a digital and an analog input with fixed level (switchable to provide the same sensitivity
as the Telos 1000/2500 when set at +9dB position)
• It has a new circuit topology to cancel the ground loops if connected in analog, avoiding the
serious buzz generated by usual unbalanced amplifiers when the star grounding is not properly
made.
• It offers all the safeties of the 2500/1000/600/350 for a foolproof operation
• It uses an Alize 6 D/A circuit in order to have the same latency as the other main amplifiers
in the Goldmund line and be easily mixed with the T1000/T2500/T350 (or even the Telos 600 if
upgraded to the Alize6).
Like for the Telos 350, the power of the Telos 3500 is not announced but you may guess it is
between the Telos 2500 and 5000…As a brainchild of the Telos 5000, it has the capacity to
drive anything existing, in any possible configuration.

6月19日発売の7月号で休刊。
5/13 [World] GOLDMUNDから、新CDプレーヤー「Eidos36T」登場!!
Based on the mechanical design made by Goldmund for the Eidos Reference Limited Edition,
the Eidos 36T CD player is another example of the Swiss craftsmanship precision and quality. It
integrates the most advanced mechanical stabilization system of the optical pickup and a
complete "Mechanical Grounding" reorganization of the transport mechanism.
Its chassis is a strong, ultra-rigid brass and aluminum cell structure. The front and side panels
of the unit are finished in silver anodized aluminum.
The transport itself is rigidly installed in a heavy metal assembly initially designed for the Eidos
Reference. The loading tray is totally decoupled from the main mechanism structure to avoid
additional resonance. The reading process is further enhanced by a technology developed by
Goldmund called the "Magnetic Damping". Using a magnetic field to damp the reading
mechanism guarantees a much smoother move of the laser focusing device and provides a
much more accurate information retrieval.
The Eidos 36T displays the mastery acquired by Goldmund with its extremely refined
mechanics that has been purposely left more visible than usual in a very 'transparent"
assembly.
Its power supply uses built-in Goldmund "AC-Curator" circuitry.
The Eidos 36T provides an optimized SPDIF Output to use with the Mimesis 16, 16HD or the
Mimesis 32 or with an external D/A Converter like the Mimesis 20.6 or Mimesis 20.7.

Preamplifier: Metis2
Power Amplifier: Metis 3
Integrated Amplifier: Metis 5
・The Metis 2 preamplifier provides 5 analog stereo inputs and
ultra-linear volume control with
the same circuitry as the Mimesis 27.5. A balance adjustment is even
provided on the remote.
A set of 2 analog RCA outputs serves as the preamplifier output.
・The Metis 3 Power amplifier is a stereo 2 x 150W Telos circuit
providing exceptional
dynamics to the most phlegmatic speakers. It comes with 2 analog
RCA inputs.
・Metis 5 includes both Metis 2 and Metis 3 circuitry in a
diminutive chassis the size of the
existing Metis 10 and at a very reasonable price for the quality.
4/1 [World] GOLDMUND、「Telos350」を正式発表。
・ The
Telos 350 is built with a new full-aluminum Mechanical Grounding
asymmetrical
construction.
・ Telos 350 will be much more powerful than a Telos 400 despite
its reasonable price.
・ Telos 350 is the first amplifier that can be mixed with the
existing Telos 2500, Telos 1000
or Telos 600 in a Proteus configuration, providing a substantial
economy on large Proteus
systems such as the Full Goldmund Epilogue.
・ The internal circuit is seriously improved over the previous
Telos and largely inspired by
the recent Telos 5000, Goldmund masterpiece. Using the same
type of capacitors, a
revised input circuit and no less than an Alize 6 D/A circuit,
the only sacrifice on the Telos
350 is the suppression of the analog level control.
・ Telos 350 provides an internal connection for an optional
pluggable DSP board, just like
the U-Telos amplifiers of the Goldmund Media Room.

2/4 [World] dCS、USB対応
DAC 「Debussy
DAC」を正式発表。
既に速報済みです。
The Debussy DAC is the future hub of your digital playback system. Debussy combines the
legendary dCS Ring DAC™ and our patent pending (GB0817141.5) asynchronous usb technology
in one box to deliver a DAC that will extract amazing performance from any digital source.
Built to the highest specifications, Debussy features a sleek solid aluminium fascia, high grade
aluminium casing, all metal buttons and is powered by dCS electronics. Whether you use CD or
a computer as your source, Debussy will extract every last bit of detail from your music
collection, bringing a reality to your music that you never heard before.
In common with our flagship Scarlatti, Paganini and Puccini ranges, Debussy uses our
proprietary patented dCS Ring DAC™, which oversamples all incoming data to 5 bits at 2.822
or 3.07 MS/s.
Debussy DAC features standard AES3, Dual AES and SPDIF inputs in addition to the USB2.0
interface. The digital volume control allows direct connection to a power amplifier, thus in most
cases removing the need for a preamplifier. Maximum output can be either
two or six volts to
suit different amp/speaker combinations. Two filters are provided offering listeners the choice
of linear phase with pre-ringing or non-linear phase without pre-ringing.
When connecting a
computer source Debussy DAC operates in “asynchronous” USB mode (NOT to be confused
with asynchronous rate conversion), in which the Debussy DAC synchronises the audio
by
providing a feedback pipe to the computer. The computer is then effectively locked to the
audio device, which provides a much more accurate clock and much lower jitter.
The PCM inputs on all our DACs are industry standard AES and SPDIF interfaces.
There should be no difficulty using them with other manufacturers’ equipment, provided it
also complies with industry standards. Debussy can be locked to an external word clock signal
generated by a dCS Master Clock and this produces a substantial performance improvement.
Debussy also benefits from our ‘soft’ approach to programmable logic, allowing new software to
be loaded from a dCS update disc or connected computer in order to add new features and
adapt to future changes in digital formats.

$12,500 Evolution 402e - $18,500 Evolution 403e -
$25,000 2010年3月発売開始。 Krell Industries has just announced a
substantial upgrade to the Evolution lineup of amplifiers. The new
enhanced, Evolution e Series, delivers greater fidelity while at the
same time reducing its carbon footprint. ・Redefined Power
Supply An intense upgrade to the power supply includes a new
separate toroidal transformer for the digital control circuitry,
improved EMI suppression of high frequency artifacts, and
a substantial increase in capacitive power supply reserve. A
new green mode reduces the standby power draw dramatically. As
an example, the Evolution 402e power draw drops from 370W to
2W – a reduction of 99.5%. The new standby mode is user selectable and
turns off all non
critical circuitry. The power indicator ring glows green in the new mode.
The standard standby mode, which keeps all but the output
stages active, is still available and indicated by a red ring on the
power indicator. ・Sound Enhancements The audio circuitry has
also received enhancements in the new Evolution e Series.
Building on the unique Active Cascode Topology foundation of
the Evolution Series, the e Series amplifiers feature more
precisely balanced current sharing among the seven sets of
Active Cascode Quartets that make up the output stage. This
greater precision elevates an already impressive performance
envelope and provides greater amplifier reliability. A new
feedback implementation delivers improved dynamic
performance.

1/4 [World] MonitorAudioから、「Apex」シリーズスピーカー登場。 2010年1月発売予定。 A10 $450 each A40 $800
each AW12 $1,700 each A10 Stands $450
pair *価格はUSリテール。 Apex is a ‘flagship’ range of versatile compact
speakers which addresses the market beyond the company’s Radius
HD range A10 The A10 is an ultra-compact stand
or wall-mounting satellite designed for use as an audiophile
mini-monitor, or with the A40 and the AW-12 subwoofer in a high
quality multi-channel sound system. The die-cast metal wall
bracket supplied with the A10 provides for easy, unobtrusive
installation on a wall, ceiling or table top. The adjustment of a
single screw provides for the full pivoting of the bracket through 30
degrees in all directions, allowing the speaker to be directed
precisely and with ease. Features • Die-cast aluminum cabinet and
baffle. • 1 x 5 1/2” (140mm) C-CAM bass/mid-range driver with RST
profile cone technology. • 1” (25mm) C-CAM gold dome tweeter. •
Die-cast aluminum terminal panel. • Fine perforated aluminum grille,
with rotating logo badge for portrait or landscape orientation. •
Magnetically shielded. • High gloss piano lacquer finishes in black
metallic and pearl white metallic. A10 Stand The stylish
A10 stand is pre-wired with our own Silver Pureflow cable for convenience
and to avoid unsightly hanging wires. An innovative mounting
arrangement means that the A10 is automatically connected to
the system as it slides onto the stand. A40 The slender
Apex A40 is intended to be used vertically or horizontally as a main
speaker or to perform centre channel duties in a multichannel
audio/video system. Due to their very shallow 4 1/8” (105mm)
depth, it is ideal for use with flat panel displays. With a clear
and even response down to 55Hz, it can deliver excellent hi-fi sound
in a style-oriented two-channel system, or when combined with the
AW-12 active subwoofer, stunning multi-channel sound defined by
low distortion, tonal accuracy, pin-point imaging and
dynamic response. The A40 uses the 1” (25mm) gold dome C-CAM
tweeter found on the A10, flanked by dual 5 ¼” (140mm) C-CAM bass/mid
drivers. The A40 bracket is designed to provide the maximum
flexibility when positioned next to thin displays. The shallow-profile
bracket supplied holds the A40 almost flush with the wall, but
allows the speaker to be tilted toward the listening area and
also forward or back to align the speaker front with that of the
screen. Features • Die-cast aluminum cabinet and baffle. • 1
x 1” (25mm) C-CAM® gold dome tweeter. • 2 x 5 ¼” (140mm) C-CAM
bass/mid-range drivers with RST® profile cone technology. • Solid
metal alloy wall bracket with slot fixing. • Recessed terminal
housing made from die-cast aluminum. • Perforated aluminum grille,
with rotating logo badge. • Magnetically shielded. • High gloss
piano lacquer finishes in black metallic and pearl white
metallic. AW-12 Subwoofer The AW-12 active subwoofer is
completely new from the ground up. Every component has been
designed specifically for the AW-12, including the massively engineered
front-firing 12” C-CAM driver and 500 watt Class D amplifier.
The amplifier and complementary high efficiency switch mode
power supply are able to deliver full power with a continuous rating,
equal to most other subwoofers rated at 1000 watts. This means
the AW-12 is able to provide high output with low distortion
for continuous periods without fatigue or overheating. Finished in the
Apex l lacquers and complete with aluminum side trims, the AW-12’s
sealed cabinet is easy to position. The top mounted controls for
volume and EQ settings makes for easy set-up and adjustment.
The 12V trigger input allows for auto-on when using a compatible A/V
receiver or processor. A new adjustable foot design has the floor
spike permanently fitted with a removable heavy duty rubber
cover for solid or hard wood flooring. Balancing beautifully
the Apex virtues of convenience and design, refinement and
power, the AW-12 offers superior subwoofer
engineering. Features • Compact design with complementary styling
cues. • 1.18” (30mm) thick MDF construction. • Extensive
internal bracing. • Front firing driver and sealed cabinet
construction. • 12” long throw bass driver with C-CAM cone. •
500W Class D amplifier. Continuous rating. • High efficiency Switch
mode PSU. • Dynamic power limiter. • Top mounted control panel
for volume and pre-set EQ features. • OFF/ ON / AUTO power
switch • 12V trigger switching input

12/27 [World] YG
Acoustics、新スピーカー「Carmel」をCES2010にて正式発表。 既にインターナショナルオーディオショウにて発表済み。 予価:$18,000 YG Acoustics is
proud to announce the arrival of its newest model – the Carmel! In times when
competitors boast “manufacturing efficiency” which allows an
all-aluminum speaker to be manufactured for under $60K, YG
Acoustics makes it all seem like “yesterday’s news” by offering
superior technology for one third of the price. YG Acoustics has been
producing fully machined all-aluminum speakers for nearly 8 years now.
Currently 4 model configurations sell for less than $40K. At $18k, the new
Carmel not only boasts a fully-CNC-machined
all-aircraft-aluminum enclosure, but also offers technological
features that the competition cannot, even in their much more
expensive models. The Carmel not only represents the current industry
standard of machining efficiency but provides the benchmark for sound
quality, that YG Acoustics is famous for, in a new price
category. These include 4-axis milling technology (the
competition is limited to 3 axes), precision-CNC-ground and
hardened enclosure panels, and double the machining accuracy (YG
Acoustics’ tolerance is +/-0.0008”, the best competitor’s only
+/-0.002”).
