Angeboten wird „Chord Ultima Pre 2 / BLACK / 230v“ von Chord Electronics als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Transistor-Vorverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 4166368559 endet am 23.08.2026 um 10:43 Uhr.
This is a seller’s market for the Chord Ultima Integrated, and the €11,000 asking price is ambitious, sitting well above the 75th percentile of €8,447 from your ground-truth database of 13 recent EUR listings (median €6,562). While the new retail price in the UK is £8,500 (roughly €10,000) and the US price is $11,250 (roughly €10,400), the used market typically settles far lower, making this listing significantly overpriced compared to the typical used range.
The Ultima Integrated remains a worthy buy for its 125W output, rich midrange clarity, and smooth treble, offering a large dose of the pricier Ultima pre/power performance in one box. However, given the price exceeds the median and the condition is not explicitly “original-owner” or flawless here, buyers should scrutinize for missing accessories or age concerns before committing, as this is not the clear buying opportunity a fair-priced used listing would be.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Chord Electronics, a British high-fidelity powerhouse, traces its roots to the aviation industry. Founded in 1989 by John Franks, a former Marconi Avionics engineer, the company emerged from his early 1980s innovations in ultra-reliable, high-frequency switching power supplies for aircraft electronics. Initially too costly for commercial viability, the designs became feasible with advancing components, launching Chord from its Kent headquarters in a renovated pumphouse that remains its manufacturing heart.
The brand excels in premium amplifiers and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), blending Franks' analog prowess with digital expertise from FPGA specialist Rob Watts. Early power amplifiers quickly won acclaim from professional studios like the BBC, Abbey Road, and Skywalker Sound, establishing credibility before shifting focus to consumer hi-fi. Iconic products like the Hugo and Mojo DACs exemplify their boundary-pushing approach, alongside integrated amps and streamers, all handcrafted in the UK without compromise on power, precision, or musicality.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Chord commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromising engineering, aerospace-grade reliability, and bold innovation. Independent and proudly British, it sets benchmarks in transparency and dynamics, attracting buyers who demand reference-level performance over mass-market concessions.
