I have listened to the Goldmund integrated and bought the Plinius instead. It is smooth, musical and detailed with good dynamics and delicacy; almost tubelike midrange. The Goldmund is also a very good unit but slightly less rich and slightly thinner and brighter; however bass is slightly tighter. It really depends on the rest of your system, your listening room and your cables as to which unit will be the best match. Good Luck!!
