Description
Chord BerTTi Power Amplifier
The new Table Top (TT) range Chord BerTTi also introduces the company’s next-generation ULTIMA topology to the ground-breaking Table Top (TT) range. The TT range is home to the Hugo TT 2 DAC/pre/head amp and Hugo M Scaler upscaler.
BerTTi is a fully balanced 75-watt stereo power amplifier benefitting from the latest dual-feed-forward error-correction topology. First unveiled at HIGH END, Munich, 2023, BerTTi directly replaces its predecessor, the TToby. It also expands the British built ULTIMA-topology range amplifiers designed by Chord Electronics owner and founder John Franks. Franks’ advanced ULTIMA error-correction technology monitors and immediately corrects signals before the output stage for astonishing accuracy.
BerTTi features both balanced and unbalanced inputs, high-quality gold-plated loudspeaker outputs, plus a 10 A IEC power inlet. Further features include two modified power supplies for increased performance, plus an additional auxiliary power rail for the front end, which provides extra voltage to drive the custom-made MOSFETs.
The new ULTIMA-tech BerTTi, when combined with the resolving power of the award-winning Hugo TT 2 DAC/preamp, offers new levels of sonic performance from a small system. The addition of the Hugo M Scaler upscaler, with the ability to upscale audio to 705.6 kHz, 16x CD’s native resolution, makes the three-box system truly class-leading.
