Audio advisor and Constellation amplifiers

Taters,  the description of the Constellation equipment you described would sound really good with tube pre-amp,  and hybrid digital front end? 

Taters,

" .....cleanest and most detailed sound I have ever heard."

I agree with your observation. This seems to be their house sound, which is rather top down in presentation. I had the opportunity to audition the Inspiration 1.0 preamp at home one day and it was much too clean and detailed to enjoy.

"It was to clear and detailed to enjoy"

You definitely understood what I was trying to say.

Audiolabrinth,

If someone wants that type of sound then I would agree with you're analysis. Like I said earlier I prefer the distortion of tube gear. Luckily in audio there is different sounding gear for each person.

Aberyclark,

Are you saying that AA are penny pinchers?
