The Telos 3500 - New Goldmund Superstar Amplifier

For those who did not buy the Telos 5000 on time, the new Telos 3500 is THE perfect choice as it inherited most of the Telos 5000 technical qualities and physical attributes. It promises to be the new Goldmund Superstar Amplifier, but let us tell you why:

The looks:

The Telos 3500 looks just like Telos 5000, but measures only 2/3 of its height (24”). It is gorgeously crafted in eloxed aluminum and adorned with gold stripes on the sides and the Goldmund gold plate on the front panel. The purity of its lines only matches that of the materials used in its making. It is by carefully selecting the best raw materials and by collaborating with renowned experts in their treatment that Goldmund can fashion the luxurious and sturdy look that has characterized its products for decades. This is also what makes their unique durability. The construction of the Telos 3500 also features the most exceptional mechanical grounding, similar to that of the T5000 with an extreme rigidity and heavy weight (>100kg).

And the brain:
The Telos 3500 uses the transformers and the capacitors that were specifically developed for the Telos 5000 (even if in a reduced number) in order to provide the same extreme “Driver Control”.
It has also been designed to allow a DSP board option. First introduced with the Telos 350, this option promises exciting possibilities to use the T3500 with Proteus in a multi channel configuration.
It has a digital and an analog input with fixed level (switchable to provide the same sensitivity as the Telos 1000/2500 when set at +9dB position)
It has a new circuit topology to cancel the ground loops if connected in analog, avoiding the serious buzz generated by usual unbalanced amplifiers when the star grounding is not properly made.
It offers all the safeties of the 2500/1000/600/350 for a foolproof operation
It uses an Alize 6 D/A circuit in order to have the same latency as the other main amplifiers in the Goldmund line and be easily mixed with the T1000/T2500/T350 (or even the Telos 600 if upgraded to the Alize6).

Like for the Telos 350, the power of the Telos 3500 is not announced but you may guess it is between the Telos 2500 and 5000…As a brainchild of the Telos 5000, it has the capacity to drive anything existing, in any possible configuration.
