Counterpoint SA 220


I recently purchased a Counterpoint SA 220. It's in very good condition and sounds great... just as I remember my SA 12 sounding.... BUT, I can't get rid of the hum. You think I should replace the tubes? Has anyone had in luck getting these to quiet down?

Does the amp hm without any other component pluged into it? You may have to try the amp in anoter system to see if that if it still has a hum. In my experience the hum is either a grounding issue or a cap that is going bad. Remembr that the caps are 20+ years old. If you live in the New Jersey area I know a good tech.

Happy Listening.

BTW the mods take the amp to a different level and you can do them yourself.
