Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Is £1,250 the right number for a TToby, or is there better value just below it? With 6 recent GBP comparables, that asking price sits a touch above the £1,163 median but still below the £1,199 75th percentile, so it reads as fairly priced rather than ambitious.

That makes it a sensible buy if the unit is clean and complete, because the TToby is a respected, compact Class AB power amp with real drive and a tidy, high-end finish. It’s especially appealing if you want Chord’s matching look and don’t need to chase a bargain-basement price. At this level, the main thing to confirm is straightforward ownership history and that the original box, power lead, and any matching accessories are present; otherwise, it’s a solid enthusiast purchase.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Chord Electronics

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.
