Looking to possibly purchase the the inspiration preamp and amp. I never or rarely see Constellation for sale used and was looking at some feedback why.

New Kiseki blackheart cartridge not sounding right.
Thanks everyone. Biggest issue with the Kiseki is the cantilever and stylus are so far underneath the body it makes trying set the overhang and horizontal tracking angle almost impossible. You just can’t see it. I had to go from a Wally tracker to... 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
I’m too considering Pass amplifiers. What strikes me the most when I read through all these lame responses to OP question, is the lack of almost all responses  to include what speakers they used in their Evaluation of Pass amps. Amplifier speaker ...

Luxman m-900u owners - quick question

Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier?
To clear some confusion, I’m not talking about manufacturers that have their equipment made in China. I’m talking about counterfeit clones coming out of China. 
Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier?
What I’ve seen are clones of hi-end audio manufacturers amps with these manufacturer’s names on the front: Mark Levinson, Goldmund and Accuphase .you have to wonder who would buy such an amp?

Personal amp evolution
This amp evolution has been years in the making. Unfortunately its been a lot of mistakes with a need to play around. As you get older playing around gets tiring and looses it thrill.Here goes.NAD 2200 PEConrad Johnson MV 45AB&K ST 140Audio Re...
