Forget the tweeters, Bob. That table and chairs are classic! What did you do- steal them when Horn and Hardart went out of business?

I grew up in the 50s and I’m nostalgic

Cosmo is really enjoying the new TANNOY Westminster GR speakers that were installed at Rhapsody Brooklyn along with the Tannoy Super tweeters today.

TriodeLab 45 EVO integrated @ Rhapsody Out West. I’ve somehow managed to assemble the tube recipe with ingredients that have me completely gobsmacked. In the 6SN7 position now running a pair of Shuguang Black Treasure CV181-z, and the 12ax7s are some Bugle Boys from around late 1950s.

Currently driving the Diesis Roma SE, with solid core (15 awg) copper speaker cables and some budget interconnects. In my room is pure magic — and y’all are welcome to come hear it anytime. Its different of course from Alsyvox/Pilium, like a fine Pinot from Willamette valley is different from a fine Burgundy. Its all about flavor and tastes.

I’ll toss up a video shortly for those who groove on such things.

Rhapsody.Audio Installed a new Critical Mass Systems OLYMPUS rack, an Aurender N30, Torus RM 20 transform all to enhance the sculpturesque Goldmund GHIA active/wireless system.

Did you provide and install the golden too? Or is that a fat Lab.

The customer has been my customer for 22 years. He has purchased Epilogue and Apologue from Rhapsody. During the last three years, Rhapsody did not represent GOLDMUND and during that time Goldmund did the swap out of the Apologues for the GHIA directly.

Now that Rhapsody is representing GOLDMUND again I have reunited with the customer. Going to install an SME 60 turntable with a Goldmund phono stage in a few months as well.

Ringo is an AMAZING Golden.

PeterA · Jul 17, 2024

Bob, are you a dealer for SME turntables? Have you heard the model 60? I have read very little about this new turntable and almost nothing on WBF about it. Thank you.

Rhapsody · Jul 17, 2024

Hi Peter,

Rhapsody is now a SME dealer. I have a 60 on order in blue

It should arrive in about 30 days from now. I have no experience with the table.

PeterA · Jul 17, 2024

Fabulous. Congratulations Bob. I look forward to reading about your impressions. For many years, I lived very happily with their former flagship the model 30/12.

Hello Bob,
Would you happen to know if Goldmund currently have their own TT on the market, thank you.

Hi, Goldmund no longer makes a TT. It’s been about 10 years now since they have offered a turntable.

Hello Peter,
I listened SME 30/12 for hundreds of hours and know it inside out. I also listened new SME 60. IMHO new 60 is much better than 30/12. It sounds more calm, grounded and pitch perfect to my ears. I think new motor and Crystal Cable wiring is mainly responsible for this improvement.

I believe it's more >20 years since Goldmund has manufactured a turntable. I purchased a last batch Goldmund Studio TT and it is still in use. Are there better tables - yes, but with an AMG arm and DS Audio cartridge - it still makes music.

Rhapsody · Jul 22, 2024

Not quite 20 years. Yes for the Studio II it was 20 years but Goldmund still produced the Reference II (limited production) in production until around 2012.

In depth advertisement/review of the Lorenzo LM1 which we have at the Rhapsody Manhattan location available for demonstration.

I stand corrected.

Regardless GOLDMUND has definitely been out of the turntable market for quite some time.
