    Ok, I am going to weigh in here. I have had the Chord Ultima in my listening room for about three weeks and what has been described here mostly matches what I experienced. Now comes the alternative. I own a Gato Audio AMP150 class AB amp that is on par with the Ultima and betters it some areas. The main difference, I will put it out there, maybe the Ultima may have the edge on the toe tapping front. It seems to be able to Gel everything into a cohesive whole just that little bit more. Now, before anyone says oh the price difference; The Gate AMP 150 was for sale for upwards of 8k before GATO changed their pricing model. Please listen to both before making your choice. The other thing of note is the inputs and outputs. I find the Ultima limited in this area against the competition, especially if you have analogue tape as part of your listing equipment or you may want to include a headphone amp. Also I recommend investing in a mains conditioner if you really want to hear the Ultima at its very best.

    5 decades ago I realy enjoyed the Shure M55E.........very musical and allrounder, it's was decent offspring of the >>V15........ The MP110 somewhat reminds me of the musicality of the Shure........it's also a good cartridge to be used on lesser quality recorded vinyl ! It's also a good practice to buy the cartridge with a spare needle.....not to worry some years later and avoiding the inevitable inflation rate.. I had a lot of cartridges overs the years ..........some stay on the liking list over time like the V15III.......the Fidelity Research MC201...........EMT TD15........VDH...........DENON 304 and some others ......... The MP110 will not deceive ! when you LIKE music instead of the current audiophile hype performances .( and pricetags )

      I have not spent a lot of time with the Blue in that system. From what I heard it is still lean but not strident on the treble region. A bit more attack than the MP110. Some more listening is required before I make an opinion on the blue.

    Great review sir. These are incredibly good speakers. I had a pair of AE309s and then (stupidly!) traded them in for some Wharfedale Linton 85s mainly because I got seduced by their look, but I never really liked the sound of them despite really trying to for 14 months - I just found the treble horribly grainy with anything but the very best recordings, and they didn’t have as much bass as I felt they should have had. So I sold the Lintons and upgraded to some AE509s in the piano black finish. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made - they are easily my favourite speakers I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning, they sound absolutely amazing partnered with my Rega P8/Ania Pro/Aria 3 and my Luxman LX-380 amp - silky smooth but with bags of detail - man I love this combo!

Some people recommended upgrading the tubes but I don’t really know much about it, but could be a fun upgrade when the time comes to replace the supplied tubes, which by the way are absolutely fine.

      @@paulcookson5091 I definitely much preferred the AE309s to the Lintons, but it could just be my personal taste of course. I regretted getting rid of mine. Having said that, I would keep an eye out on eBay for a used set of AE509s (or 309s) there are some bargains to be had I have seen AE509s sell on there for under £1000 - and AE309s for £600. Good luck finding some cheers
