Hattor Ultimate Power Amp: An Exceptional Amplifier for Pure and Dynamic Sound!
My Audio System
•Speakers: Dynaudio C4
•Preamplifier and DAC : Audiaero Prestige
•Source: Bluesound Node
•Room Correction: Lyngdorf RP1
First Impressions: An “Aha Moment” and a Small Surprise
Right from unboxing, Hattor makes a strong impression: each unit is delivered in an aluminum suitcase. This premium packaging immediately sets the tone and reassures you about the quality of the product.
A minor downside: there is no power cord included, so be sure to have one ready to test the product right away.
Sound Quality and Performance
•Clarity and Transparency: faithful reproduction, completely noise-free.
•Dynamics and Control: tight and well-managed bass, expressive mids, detailed but never harsh highs.
•Versatility: no issues driving the Dynaudio C4, even at high volumes.
I previously owned the Moon W6, which were excellent products when they were released. They are a bit older now, but they were considered very high-performing amplifiers in their time. That said, the Hattor Ultimate Power Amp clearly surpasses them, especially in bass control. The low end is tighter, more defined, and impressively controlled. While the Moon W6 could sometimes sound a bit rounded, the Hattor delivers more precision and speed, completely transforming the listening experience.
With the Lyngdorf RP1, room correction enhances the performance even further by optimizing the acoustic response. The soundstage is wide, detailed, and stable, with absolute speaker control under any conditions.
Build Quality and Connectivity
•Sturdy chassis with excellent ventilation.
•High-quality Neutrik XLR and CMC RCA connectors.
•Hattor’s patented pure copper binding posts: a great surprise! Their design ensures an optimal connection with speaker cables, minimizing signal loss and avoiding poor contact issues. A real advantage in this price range.
Customer Service: A Real Plus!
Beyond the quality of the amplifiers, I had excellent email exchanges with Arek, the owner of Hattor Audio. He is very responsive, passionate, and attentive, providing genuine personalized support. This truly makes a difference and builds trust.
Value for Money
It’s hard to find a better option in this price range. This amplifier outperforms many more expensive competitors, delivering performance on par with the best references on the market.
Conclusion
If you’re looking for a powerful, precise, and well-built amplifier, the Hattor Ultimate Power Amp is an obvious choice. Paired with a solid room correction system like the Lyngdorf RP1, it allows you to unlock the full potential of a high-end audio setup.
The patented copper binding posts are another big plus, ensuring a secure and optimal connection with speaker cables.
For those debating between Moon W6 and Hattor: while the Moon W6 were great products at the time, the Hattor offers better bass control, more precision, and superior clarity.
Finally, a huge thank you to Arek at Hattor Audio for his professionalism and the quality of our conversations. An exceptional product backed by top-notch customer service!
💡 Highly recommended!
