Suzi Pre Modular Preamplifier / Phono Stage / Headphone Amplifier, by Chord Electronics.

Released in June 2025, the clever Suzi Pre by Chord Electronics can be used as a high-quality standalone pre-amplifier, but can also be combined with other Chord products, including Suzi Amp, Hugo 2 and 2go, to create many versatile combinations.

Part of the Chord Hugo Range, the Pre can be used as a standalone pre-amplifier, and also allows direct integration of the Chord Electronics Suzi Amp stereo power amplifier to create a compact pre / power amp setup, too.

The unit features both 3.5 mm and 6.35 mm headphone outputs, three RCA inputs, one RCA output, and a 12 V DC output. A central polychromatic control sphere handles volume and input selection.

Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) compatibility is also offered, ensuring that lovers of vinyl are well catered for via the Suzi concept.
