Counterpoint SA-11, worthy looking for?

Thanks all for the advices. I bought the preamp yesterday. It looks like a big modify project. I will have Mike Elliot modify the circuit ,add balanced outputs and replace the capacitors with auricaps and blackgates. The TKD volume pot will be upgrade to TKD stereo attenuator. Internal wirings and the RCA plugs will be next. I might put in wood panels on both sides too. I will post the results later.

Special thanks to Albert Porter, Mike Savuto and Justlisten for all the information.

I am looking to buy a good SA11. If anyone knows, or wants to sell, please let me know.

This pre amp is great but extremely hard to service. You are better off buying the schematics from mike and commission someone local to build one point to point for you. Seriously its not going to be any more $

Hi Luis,

I might consider a good offer. E-mail me at furtwangler1965@comcast.net to discuss the details. I reserve a lifetime tube supply for this monster so you don't have to worry about the tube replacement. I do have the original box and it just went through the full examination and necessary fix from chief technician of Counterpoint 2 years ago.
