Chord Ultima integrated amplifier in as new condition throughout A ex dem model and complete with all accessories and original packagingbox Amazing sounding (and looking !) amplifier available for collection or next day shipping at cost
At £4,650, this looks like a strong buy: it sits well below the £4,848 25th percentile and about £400 under the £5,047 median for recent comparable GBP listings. For a Chord Electronics Ultima integrated, that’s a genuinely attractive asking price rather than just “competitive.”
The Ultima range is well regarded for its grip, transparency, and effortless control, especially with speakers that like real current on tap. Excellent condition adds to the appeal, because these are premium amplifiers where clean cosmetics and careful ownership matter. If it’s fully working and complete, this is the kind of listing that merits quick attention.
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.
