Constellation Audio Inspiration Integrated 1.0 amplifier

This is one hell of an amp and my respect and total confidence in it has just grown and grown. It is a trusty companion for long and deep musical journeys. The fact that it operates within a totally black, noiseless background and leaves no trace of the processes involved in getting the music from source and into the room is beautiful. I can only imagine how good the higher-level Constellation Audio electronics might be.

For its performance capabilities and bearing in mind the other high-end integrated amps I have experienced over the past few years, I might even whisper (although such statements are completely relative) that it’s actually a bit of a bargain. Most importantly of all and just like a great instrument, the Inspiration Integrated 1.0 comes to life in music.
