Absolute Sound Product of the Year Award, January 2015

“After I had finished auditioning the Constellation Audio Inspiration Preamp 1.0 and Mono 1.0, I returned to the $55k Soulution 725 pre and $165k 701 monoblocs. One would think the juxtaposition would only highlight the limitations of the 1/8th the price Inspiration pair. Instead the comparison threw into sharp relief just how extraordinary the Inspiration electronics are... They bring a level of transparency, resolution, refinement, and soundstaging to this price segment once reserved for much more expensive electronics.
– Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound, January, 2015



Questions for the seller
Hi - did you purchase it as a new amp from this Chicago dealer? Do you know if the warranty is transferable? thanks!
Hi Peter, the amp was a demo, that's why its so highly discounted. The price on this piece just went up $1500, from 11k to $12,500. Although I purchased it under warrantee, unfortunately, its not transferable.
Are this unit a stereo unit
Yes, Stereo
Hi, do you know if it's 120v/240v compatible?
120V
