Thank you also for piquing my interest. Now, I'd loved to see a bank account peak some interest...I haven't heard much about that amp nor Goldmund amps in general. I am interested in finding out more about them. Thanks for peaking my interest.
Aren’t you the guy who sold the Onkyo M-510?Well the amp is here, I'm trying it out before it heads to the sale bin. (Yes it was never intended to be a keeper). This thing is a real curiosity, 4 chassis, one a battery supply, Very specialized silver cabling, really it's the works here. $30 grand worth of amp weighing 315 pounds.
A short listening session shows immediately how well designed it is.
I'll run it for hours this Saturday.

Did you end up selling or keeping it?
Sold, but it’s still here.Did you end up selling or keeping it?
What made you decide to sell it?Sold, but it’s still here.
PM if you’d like so this thread doesn’t become a q and a.What made you decide to sell it?
It’s a fine amp, but make sure it has been fully serviced by a Goldmund tech. All of the smaller caps need to go, and much of the rest needs at least resoldering. The caps used should be Vishay or of that grade. This will cost big dollars if it hasn’t been done yet. Screwing the job up will send the amp into destructive oscillation. This photo shows the extent to which it needs to be serviced. All smaller caps are new.Aloha Ds2000
Got a a chance to buy a Mimesis 3 Amp in good shape thinking about to grab him and check what comes out of the JBLs
DS What makes you happy about this sound machine?

Sound-wise, it is a very straight forward amp, lacking coloration. What goes in is what comes out.
I do like the JVC Laboratory gear for sure.
Oh those are lovely amps, I hope to hear to hear a pair some day.Thanks for replying in nice way Mr.Ds
I'm not sure all the work his done on this Amp the Seller just write in the Advertisement the Amp is in working condition well I decided to stay away from this buy as I'm not an qualified technician to fix deeper electronics problems unfortunately
Anyways I'm not short in Vintage hi-fi systems good enough to kill time in nice way with a couple of Victor/JVC SS-A180 +2A3 Tubeamp
Enjoy your weekend
Cheers
