Offered is „ULTIMA 6“ by Chord Electronics as exhibit from the category „Transistor-Poweramp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5329093270 ends on 17.10.2026 at 09:53 o'clock.
Compared with waiting for a broader market bargain, this is fairly priced rather than cheap: at €6,490 it sits just above the €6,243 median of recent comparable listings, though still well inside the normal spread and far below the €8,354 75th percentile. It is not a steal, but it is close enough to the center of the market that a clean example can absolutely justify itself.
That makes the buy case the unit itself: this is a highly regarded integrated with real current-capability and a reputation for grip, scale, and control that keeps it relevant against newer rivals at similar money. If the condition is genuinely good, it’s the kind of listing where provenance, careful ownership, and complete accessories matter more than chasing the last bit off the sticker; for a well-kept piece like this, the price looks like a sensible entry into serious endgame-tier amplification.
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.
