Unknown condition makes £4,450 especially attractive if the unit is clean and fully operational: it sits below the £4,192 25th-percentile benchmark only by a little? Actually, it is above that figure, but still well below the £5,474 median and £5,748 75th percentile from 11 comparable asks. That makes it a good, clearly market-friendly price rather than an automatic bargain; condition and completeness will decide whether it is genuinely strong value.
The Ultima Integrated is a serious 125W-per-channel Class AB amplifier, valued for its low-noise, fast, controlled presentation and unusually capable feed-forward correction. Its four analogue inputs, including balanced XLR, make it practical as well as high-performing. Check for the remote, original packaging, Integra feet, clean display and fault-free input selection, then confirm service history if available. If those basics check out, £4,450 offers substantial performance for the money.

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.
