CHORD SPM 1400 MKII SUPER SOLID STATE MONO AMPS

This amplifier provides all the benefits of mono amplification whilst
retaining all of the much loved qualities of Chord Electronics
amplifiers. Improvements in capacitor technology have boosted secondary
reservoir levels to 94,000 µF storing over 381 Joules of energy. A
“Superamp” in all but dimensions, this amplifier is for those whose goal
is direct comparison between live and recorded music, a sentiment
echoed by reviewer and customers alike.

Hi-Fi News magazine recently praised the latest-generation SPM
1400MkII mono power amp in its September 2013 edition. The issue
features an in-depth review of our new mono power amp and sums up by
saying: “Beautiful to behold by both eye and ear, Chord’s MkII SPM 1400
monoblocks offer spectacular insight into music. Majoring on clarity,
timing and delivering natural realism like few other power amps at any
price, they tick every box in the audiophile hi-fi check list. Neutral,
detailed and with breathtaking resolution.” Hi-Fi News gave the
‘1400MkII their ‘Highly Commended’ award. You can download the full

A high current mains filter ensures that the amplifier is shielded
from disturbed mains as well as ensuring that the mains is untouched by
emissions from the amplifier. The output from the power supply uses a
truly innovative “Dynamic Coupling” technique whereby the positive and
negative rails are mutually coupled by a strong magnetic flux. The
result being that if a high demand is put on one rail, the energy
required is actually drawn equally from both rails. This keeps the
amplifier balanced dynamically and the reference point perfectly clean.
