Audio advisor and Constellation amplifiers

I heard a Constellation set up at the Newport Show  a couple of years ago. I thought it was the cleanest and most detailed sound I have ever heard. If I had the money would I buy it? No, I prefer the distortion of tube amps. But, I could see why someone would like it.

AA saves money on advertising. Basically the same catalog for the past 20 years. The girl model is probably now pushing 60. AA still using her images from 15 years ago. They finally changed ol' Peter Madnick's photo. The new one not much better. 

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.
