Also previewed were prototypes of Rega’s upcoming Mercury preamplifier and Solis power amplifier, both promising sleek design, balanced circuitry, and powerful, musical sound.
Chord Electronics introduced the Suzi, a compact yet powerful modular amplifier designed to pair seamlessly with components like the Suzi Pre, Hugo 2 DAC, and 2go streamer. Whether configured as a standalone amp, DAC/amp combo, or streaming amplifier, Suzi offers flexibility without compromising performance.
ProAc’s K3 speakers rounded out the system with their signature ribbon tweeter and Kevlar-cone drivers, delivering depth, detail, and rich musicality.
The setup was completed with Chord Company cables, ensuring every signal path performed at its best.
From refined analog setups to cutting-edge digital flexibility, The Sound Organisation’s room demonstrated how British hi-fi continues to set the standard for serious audio enthusiasts.
