Chord Electronics BerTTi black

Introduction to the Chord Electronics BerTTi

The Chord Electronics BerTTi is a fully balanced 75W stereo amplifier featuring cutting-edge dual feed-forward ULTIMA technology. This sophisticated error-correction technology instantly monitors and rectifies signals before the output stage, ensuring unprecedented accuracy and sonic fidelity.

British Design and Engineering

Meticulously designed in England, the BerTTi is the result of meticulous craftsmanship and advanced engineering. Its compact chassis is carefully machined from aerospace-grade aluminum, offering an elegant and contemporary design. Available in silver or black finishes, it seamlessly integrates into any listening space.

Connectivity and Performance

The BerTTi is equipped with balanced and unbalanced inputs, as well as high-quality gold-plated speaker outputs. Two modified power supplies enhance performance, while an additional auxiliary power rail for the front end provides extra voltage to drive the custom MOSFETs. These features ensure a dynamic and pristine sonic experience, capable of driving speakers ranging from compact models to the most power-hungry designs.

Compatibility and Expansion

The BerTTi is designed to work optimally with the Hugo TT 2 DAC/preamp/headphone amp and the Hugo M Scaler upscaler. This combination delivers world-class audio performance, with the ability to upscale audio to 705.6kHz, which is 16 times the native resolution of a CD.
