Counterpoint SA-11, worthy looking for?

I own an SA11 and have not found the need to replace it in the 10 years Ive owned it. In fact, I have purchased boxes full of replacement tubes as I knew I would never part with this unit. Well, after 10 years I have found something that works better for me, a Passive preamp. If you are interested, email me privately as mine is up for sale. I am in Northern Cal and you are welcome to audition this fine preamp.

I've heard great things about their preamps...especially the top models, like the SA-11. Mike Elliot is still doing repairs and upgrades to the old Counterpoint gear, so it's a pretty safe buy. (www.altavistaaudio.com)

I always loved the Counterpoint products but was always leary because of their reliability problems. As musical as anything out there in their day. The foundation is there. Maybe with a few mods....who knows? I would call Mike Elliott and get the scoop on what can be done with this piece.
