For this model, £4,500 sits right on the median of the recent used comps, with the market running from £4,404 at the 25th percentile to £6,277 at the 75th percentile. That makes the asking price look fair and properly anchored, not a bargain, but also not ambitious.
The Mimesis 27 is one of those Goldmund pieces buyers chase for its low-noise, highly resolved, very controlled presentation and its excellent partnering with revealing systems. If the unit is clean and fully functional, the real upside is owning a respected preamp at a sensible market level; just confirm condition, remote, and any service history, since older high-end line stages reward careful vetting.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Goldmund traces its origins to 1978, when two college students founded the company in France and unveiled the groundbreaking T3 servo-controlled tonearm, the world's first computer-controlled linear tracking design. This debut marked the start of a relentless pursuit of sonic perfection, with the brand soon relocating to Geneva, Switzerland, where it embraced "Swiss Made" precision and values of innovation, excellence, and passion. Named after a character in Hermann Hesse's Narcissus and Goldmund, the company has upheld these ideals for over four decades, evolving from humble beginnings into a beacon of audio craftsmanship.
The brand specializes in high-end categories that span the full audio chain, including revolutionary turntables like the Reference, iconic speakers such as the Apologue series exhibited at MoMA in New York, and powerhouse amplifiers like the Telos and NextGen lines. Goldmund also excels in DACs, preamplifiers, cables, and integrated systems, blending analog purity with cutting-edge digital wireless transmission. Every product reflects meticulous engineering, often pioneering proprietary technologies to eliminate distortion and deliver lifelike reproduction.
Positioned firmly at the pinnacle of the extreme high-end market, Goldmund commands a reputation among discerning audiophiles for defying conventional hi-fi norms and producing the most accurate, concert-like sound experiences available. Its handmade systems, synonymous with luxury and artistry, dominate niche luxury home audio and theater realms, backed by a legacy of boundary-pushing innovations that set the global gold standard.
