With lofty innovative standards, exemplary construction quality, and unimpeachable sonic results, Constellation exemplifies audio at its finest.

Such was the tonal honesty and transparency of this integrated that I just couldn't stop myself from grabbing one vinyl favorite after another and in a sense rediscovering sonic charms and, in some instances, catching a tiny musical revelation that I'd heretofore missed.

Given its relatively approachable cost, the 1.0 is a rarity inasmuch as its performance so closely aligns with the company's stellar, though for many, unapproachably high-priced flagships... To my way of thinking it's nothing short of a new high for the bottom of the line.
