Based on 30 years of amplifier-building expertise, Huei offers MM/MC compatibility and integrates turntables to amplifiers.

Benefitting from both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil functionality, Huei offers compatibility with a huge range of cartridges thanks to comprehensive gain and impedance-matching options; Huei’s high- and low-gain switching settings are easily accessible via front-panel controls, introducing welcome flexibility.

Moving coil: 100Ω – 3,700Ω, 12-step user selectable

Moving magnet: 21dB – 42dB, 8-step user selectable

Moving coil: 49dB – 68dB, 8-step user selectable

The TToby range may be ideally suited to compact living environments, but don’t let that fool you. With similar legendary amplification derived from our SPM range, TToby doesn’t compromise on power or providing you with the purest audio experience possible.

100w RMS per channel @ 0.016% distortion into 4Ω

ULTIMA PRE 2 is built to complement stereo systems.

The UTLIMA PRE 3 is a low noise preamplifier. 

The UTLIMA PRE 3 is equipped with five analogue inputs (two balanced and three unbalanced) all of which benefit from individual buffering and are filtered against potential ingress from radio frequency interference.

Externally, the PRE 3 benefits from a central circular power sphere flanked by a new volume control and balance/AV bypass selector, both of which benefit from a new ergonomic knob design.

Additional features include an AV bypass, plus a 5 V charging USB Type-A port.

The Qutest System Stand is carefully designed and precision-machined in England from a single billet of aircraft-grade aluminium.

The 2yu is a digital interface that connects with 2go to create a network bridge for use with a DAC, DAC-equipped device or the Hugo M Scaler.

In order for 2yu to inherit streaming/music transport capabilities or function as an audio interface, a connection with 2go is required.

Micro USB (5v 1amp minimum required) – through 2go

44.1kHz – 768kHZ | DSD 64 to DSD 256 (Dependant on output)

Integrated, automatic downsampling is provided if a higher sample rate is being played than the output can support.

USB Type-A (44.1kHz – 768kHz / DSD 256)

Designed to be entirely uncompromising, the ULTIMA preamp is an amplifier with advanced proprietary Chord Electronics technology.
