Exposure says it has added the ‘final piece’ to its mid-level 3510 series, with the launch of the £2500 3510 CD Player. Able to function as both player or transport, with digital outputs on Toslink optical and coaxial, the unit leverages the bespoke top-loading drive mech with sliding lid [pictured below] previously featured on Exposure’s XM CD [HFN Nov ’19]. Inside, a double-sided PCB hosts a bespoke clock, dual mono Burr-Brown PCM1704 DACs and a discrete analogue output stage feeding single-ended RCA connections.
High-end amplifier marque D’Agostino Master Audio Systems has launched a successor to its Relentless monoblock [HFN Mar ’20] – two offspring, in fact. Both the Relentless Epic 1600 Mono (£XXX,xxx) and the Relentless 800 Mono (£XXX,xxx) feature a recognisable industrial design, albeit with comprehensively upgraded PSU, driver and power stages.
Last hosted at the prestigious Ascot Grandstand in 2019, the UK's dedicated high-end audio show returns in 2022 with the 'who's who' of world-class hi-fi.
Pictured above with the TT3 linear-tracking arm is Clearaudio's limited edition Jubilee turntable, featuring a two-part platter – the stainless steel 'drive' platter, beneath, with inverted bearing supports the 60mm-thick POM upper platter with its separate ceramic magnetic bearing. It will very likely be partnered with DS Audio's Grand Master optical pick-up [HFN Feb '21] on Level 2 at the UK Hi-Fi Show Live. Come and celebrate Clearaudio's 40th anniversary with CEO Robert Suchy and distributor Sound Fowndations.
The UK Hi-Fi Show Live is delighted to welcome high-end distributor Absolute Sounds back to the huge entertainment space on Level 5. Seen here while the refurb and set-up for Royal Ascot was underway, Absolute Sound's 'engine room' (Pedro to his friends) is planning to get the very best from the latest that Wilson Audio [Alexx Vs pictured above], dCS [Vivaldi APEX], Magico, D'Agostino, Audio Research – and so many more exclusive brands – have to offer.
Pictured at Ascot in the spacious No1 box on the 2nd floor, Martin Thornton [left] and Peter Snell of Lowther Loudspeakers will give UK audiophiles the first chance to experience classic models from this newly revitalised brand – including the updated TP1 (now TP2) corner horns. If you've never heard their crossover-free, super-sensitive sound then you're in for a treat.
Advance tickets are now on sale for the UK's premier high-end audio event – The UK Hi-Fi Show Live, hosted at the Ascot Racecourse Grandstand, High Street, Ascot on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th September 2022.
