In Reply to: RE: Anybody here heard Goldmund Mimesis 4 tuner ? posted by Wojciech on July 21, 2023 at 21:30:22
Unless you have a non-processed college FM channel, broadcast FM is down the tubes sound wise. Look at Ocean FM internet audio. Plenty of 320mps channels for good sound.
Follow Ups:
We have a good non commercial classical/Jazz 24/7 station in Detroit WRCJ 90.9, NPR besides flooding the waves with pro-regressive nonsense does commit a sin of transmitting some good tunes with decent quality from time to time. Also CBC, Canadian broadcasts from other bank of the river have some good programming. I grew up without FM radio at home and had to take a blanket to my old folks stinking of gasoline 2 stroke engine (car) to listen to mono FM (half a winter nights ) so I'm stocking on FM tuners to compensate for that:) Just another weak spot of my psyche...Got Sansui TU9900 lately. couldn't resist the glow of the tuning scale ..
Sounds like you are in a good FM market - the Left end of the dial has offered me hope for a future with FM - and having access to the CBC is still a great option - till they defund it...
As to the Goldmund Mimesis 4 - I vaguely remember it when it came out-
It should be good, if not great - however my recollection is that there is a setting on European tuners that is different of US tuners - or rather the respective broadcasters- that can may European tuners w/o the adjustment not very effective - I would listen, if possible, before I purchase...
Happy Listening
De-emphasis circuit in EU countries is 50us and in US 75us. Gear exported to US is usually modified to account for the difference. The only obstacle is the price $2100 which according to the seller is heavily discounted from going rate. I could buy either Accuphase 1000 or 109V quite a bit cheaper than that.
De-emphasis circuit
That was the term I was trying to remember-
The Accuphase is a better unit IMHO - but I would go for the T100
FM Tuner Info (link below) does not list Gouldmund - but there is a section on Accuphase-
Gouldmund was/is a good MFG of components - but always at a high price, and a bit of a tricky set-up/maint. reputation....
My Favorite tuner is the McIntosh MR-74, but I have used MD, Fisher (old Mono units) Lafayette, Pilot and Heathkit to quite acceptable results-
Good luck
Happy Listening
I already have Accuphase T-101 and like it quite a bit. Part of the reason for this quest is that I'd like to hear fairly modern SOTA digital tuner before its all over for FM. Without the uncertainty if it is properly aligned or in specs or not, which is always the case with vintage tuners.
I remain unconvinced that digital tuning is worth the effort
Between the issues with the broadcasters - not keeping true to the specs, and the atmospheric issue -
Give me analogue, or give me Vinyl.
Happy Listening
Im with you on this. One guy from local audio club said " I had several digital amps in my system. There was nothing obviously wrong with the sound itself it's just it didn't engage me . I just have to experience it myself.
