The Goldmund Reference line offers mythical products that have become collectors’ items of extreme rarity and value. The legend started with the Goldmund Reference turntable in 1982 and then, in the digital domain, with the Goldmund Eidos Reference in 2007. Today, Goldmund presents the Eidos Reference Blue, a version providing the playback of BluRay discs in addition to the DVD and CD playback of extreme quality already present in its famous predecessor.

Built on a similar base as the Eidos Reference, the new player will be available as a limited series of 50 units, all hand-built at the Goldmund Geneva factory.

In a spirit of continuity, and to satisfy the demand of our most faithful customers, our Eidos Reference Blue has been designed to allow an easy upgrade from the Eidos Reference.

The Goldmund Eidos Reference Blue is only sold on subscription.

The Goldmund Eidos Reference Blue Technology

Goldmund’s best and most famous technologies are used in the Eidos Reference Blue.

·      Improved Mechanical Grounding construction with sturdier table support.

·      Heavily damped brass and aluminum heavy-duty mechanism enclosure (30kg) suspended on 4 spring loaded suspension pods.

·      External aluminum transport rigidifying structure for spurious vibration cancellation.

·      Extraordinary mechanical assembly that prevents all vibration to affect the sound and image produced.

·      The built-in stabilized power supply uses the Goldmund AC-Curator circuitry. It is totally separated from the mechanism by the top of the table support.

·      Goldmund “Magnetic Damping” technology, considerably improving the image stability and sound transparency.
