The GOLDMUND SR8 UNIVERSAL PREAMPLIFIER
Goldmund was founded in 1978 and has ever since been dedicated to the accurate reproduction of sound and image.
At Goldmund, we strive to lead in the creation, development and manufacture of the industry's most advanced
technologies, including audio and video systems, home - networking and music distribution.
The guiding principle at Goldmund is to produce a precise sound with the least possible loss of quality through the
different stages. Goldmund will never adopt a technology before it is sufficiently developed to satisfy the high quality
standards we set. This is why Goldmund has often rejected mainstream technologies and developed its own.
