SOUND QUALITY OPTIMIZATION
4.1
WARM-UP SONIC EFFECT
If the preamplifier has been left un-powered for some time, the optimum sound quality may
only be attained after many hours. The critical circuits have to warm up to around +55
degrees Celsius (+131 degrees Fahrenheit) before achieving their optimal performances.
This is why Goldmund recommends that the MIMESIS 22H is always powered on.
4.2
ABSOLUTE PHASE
Your MIMESIS 22H preamplifier has an absolute phase inverter switch.
Absolute phase optimization can be difficult to achieve with CD's since at the current state
of the technology, the phase coherency of this source is not sufficient to allow an adequate
difference between the two positions.
Many vinyl recordings are made without care for the absolute phase and different LP's can
have different optimum positions. Trial and error is therefore often necessary.
4.3
GOLDMUND “MECHANICAL GROUNDING”
In the Goldmund Mimesis 22 Signature edition preamplifier, Goldmund has implemented its
renowned construction method to provide an optimized vibration evacuation path.
To get all the benefits of this improvement, the MIMESIS 22H must be located on a very
rigid support, directly coupled to the building. Avoid any decoupling material. If carpet
decouples the preamplifier and ground, use pin-point supports to couple the furniture to the
floor.
