CES 2013

Constellation, a consortium of designers headed up by industry veteran Peter Madnick introduced the long awaited Perseus phono preamplifier designed by the legendary John Curl who says this is his best yet phono preamplifier.

Curl designed the legendary Vendetta Research phono preamp from many years ago as well as the more recent Parasound JC-3 (JC being John Curl, of course).

The Perseus features an outboard power supply, three fully balanced and single ended inputs and outputs and some unique features best discussed in a full review, which will soon happen. It also features stunning industrial design.

It also costs $27,500 and because it is part of Constellation's lower priced Performance line, you can be sure Curl is working on his true assault on the state of the art, which will come some time in the distant future from a galaxy, far, far away.
