    Preamplifier is isolated from vibrations of mechanical components, including the CD transport itself. You must also be careful to locate your Mimesis 24 in a very well ventilated location. When powered on, the Mimesis 24, as all high quality electronic equipment, generates a significant amount of heat, which has to be evacuated by natural ventilation.

    Plug the AC power cord to the power supply and into a wall socket. The Preamplifier is and remains on power as soon as the power switch located on the back panel is turned on. For best sonic results, Goldmund recommends to leave the unit powered on permanently.
