Chord Electronics
Ultima Stereo Integrated
The Ultima Integrated puts the whole Ultima idea in one box, and it is the only full-width integrated amplifier Chord makes — the first new one in seven years, arriving five years after the topology itself. A hundred and twenty-five watts into 8 ohms from the dual-feed-forward error-correction circuit, fed by the high-frequency supplies the range is known for. Four inputs, one balanced and three not, each individually buffered and filtered against radio interference, switched by sealed relays under microprocessor control rather than by a knob pulling signal across the chassis. The fascia is 28 millimetres of solid aluminium, symmetrical around a lit power sphere. Fourteen and three-quarter kilos, Integra legs included, five-year warranty. Stereonet made it Product of the Year in 2025.
