Exposure 3510

摘要

Nostalgia doesn't come any better than this: an integrated amplifier that looks like it escaped from the 1980s, all minimalist and line-level and 440mm wide. But Exposure has been around for close to 50 years [see PM's boxout, p57], so this isn't some exercise in retro from an arriviste brand with cod heritage. Rather, the 3510 is a device for reminding people like me of (hi-fi) life in simpler times. Even its realistic price of £2250 equates to around £440 in 1980, typical of a quality British integrated amplifier of a politically correct nature. It's part of a range, with all models available in black or titanium and sharing the same casework, which will ultimately comprise the 3510 Stereo Power Amplifier (£1590), 3510 Mono Power Amplifier (£2990 per pair), 3510 Preamplifier (£1590), and a range of optional plug-in modules.
