Chord Electronics launched its most affordable Ultima-technology stereo power amplifier to date, BerTTi, after unveiling the product at High End Munich in May.
The new power amp introduces the company’s next-generation Ultima topology to the Table Top (TT) range that also includes the Hugo TT 2 DAC/pre/head amp and Hugo M Scaler upscaler.
BerTTi, a fully balanced 75-watt stereo power amplifier containing dual-feed-forward error-correction topology, replaces its predecessor, the TToby.
The amplifier features balanced and unbalanced inputs, high-quality gold-plated loudspeaker outputs, and a 10 A IEC power inlet. Two modified power supplies are joined by an additional auxiliary power rail for the front end, which provides extra voltage to drive the custom-made Mosfets.
Chord says combining the BerTTi with its Hugo TT 2 DAC/preamp offers “new levels of sonic performance from a small system”.
BerTTi’s metalwork is precision-machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminium and is available in a choice of Jett Black or Argent Silver.
BerTTi is available to pre-order now (expected September) and is priced at £3,995.
