fidelity4u Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) Item: Goldmund Telos 390.5 integrated amplifier with built in DAC Location: Melbourne Price: $9,250 $7800 ono (RRP ~ $30,000). Part trade for a good amp, streamer, DAC or high end bookshelf speakers may be considered. Item Condition: Excellent - near new. All original packaging and remote included. Reason for selling: New addition to the family, and freeing up some money for some camera gear. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: This is a great amp, certainly the best sounding and looking solid state amp I've heard. It's a one box hi-fi solution and compares extremely well to other amps in its price range. Ihave compared it to several well regarded solid state amps of similar price and this amp sounded significantly more detailed and more convincing a performance to my ears - particularly in the mids. The amp is very analogue sounding, with massive amounts of detail without sounding etched or artificial. Also, the DAC implementation is very good - probably up there with most $5k DACs. The amp is a bit sensitive to the speaker cables, I’ve had good luck with Cardas Clear and Chord Signature Reference cables. Interconnects less so. I haven't had much time to listen to this amp since I've had a baby so it should go to someone that has more time to appreciate it. Serious buys are welcome to audition the amplifier. I'm located in Melbourne, in the inner east.
