Well, I'm once again spending a wonderful evening completely enthralled by the Constelllation Inspiration integrated amp.
I've been running it in, as well. Now that its got more than 200 hours or so on it, I have to say the Constellation Inspiration is of one of 3 best integrated amps I've ever heard, the other two being the...Constellation Argo (no surprise there) and the mighty DarTZeel CTH-8550.
There was a review of the Inspiration in TAS by Neil Gader in 2018, IIRC, and those comments were spot-on.

I had a buddy over around Thanksgiving, and he was very impresssed, too. We spent the evening listening to a wide range of content on the Inspiration, and he said it had the finest reproduction and resoluton of vocal texture he had EVER heard.
Anyhoo, I am SUPER impressed with this integrated. I could live with it as the core component in my system, along with my Lampi Baltic 3 DAC, and a Rega P10 TT, forever and be a blissfully happy man that entire time. VERY impressed.
