[QUOTE="Agaton Sax, post: 1047596, member: 2475"] Goldmund started off as a French company with the delightful name of Architecture et Physique Applique. They were basically a bunch of students while the business end was handled by a guy who later drifted off into the used exotic sports car scene. That in itself should explain a lot. The first product was the flakey T3 arm followed by the Studio turntable. This did indeed use a Papst motor, similar (I believe) to that used in the middle market Dual 701 direct drive table. Papst stopped production of the motor, so JVC motors were used instead The company became quite successful and were sold to a Swiss entrepreneur who moved the company to Geneva. The students drifted off to become quite the Who's Who of the French high-end audio scene. Goldmund produced one more table, the legendary Reference. Like all Goldmund products at the time, it was neither designed nor built by Goldmund. They quickly abandoned Analog and started on another course, aimed at the super-wealthy who may not be Audiophiles in the true sense of the word. However, Goldmund continued to nurture exceptional engineers who went on to achieve great heights on their own. Famous lately are the CH Precision guys and several others active in digital design [/QUOTE]
