A change of speakers has meant a reluctant change of amplifier, so my very nice Chord Etude is available.
This is an amp that features the new 'Ultima' type technology and is rather different from previous Chord amps. This is a very pacy, rhythmic amp that has great detail and bass control, but isn't sterile and harsh. There's loads on the 'net about this amp; including quite a few accounts of Naim users changing to this power amp in preference to a Naim power amp.

I bought this as the first owner from an authorised UK Chord retailer on 19th February 2022, c/w a 5 year warranty. It is registered with Chord for warranty. I will provide a redacted (removes my personal details) invoice as proof of purchase.
The amp is in excellent condition and is complete with original box, packaging and quick start 'manual', but no mains cable. Mine is a smoke and pet free home. It works perfectly.
Collection is fine from my home near Mablethorpe.
I can arrange delivery by Royal Mail Special Delivery at buyer's risk for £25. The service will include insurance to the full value. Alternatively, buyer can arrange their own courier (subject to my availability for collection by courier).
The current retail price of these is £4,500

My price is £1,995.
To save you looking it up: looking at past eBay sales these sell for £2,300-£2,600 ish and haven't the provenance of mine.
