As far as the company is "out or business", Mike Elliot, the designer or this preamp is still repairing and modifying them from his company Alta Vista.
I wouldn't worry about support if needed.

Counterpoint SA3000 Any Good ?
I am looking for a Pre amp with a phono stage in it.
I have read a few good things about this pre but am looking for some feedback from users that either have or have had this pre-amp
I would appreciate any info I could get. I do know that the company is out of business but can still be supported if needed.
Other recommendations on a pre-amp with a phono stage will also be appreciated.
Thanks.

I second all of the above replies. The SA3000 was a pretty decent unit, but a SA5000 or a SA-5.1 would beat it pretty easily, IMHO. Mostly due to the tube rectification in the power supply. Tube gain stages are nice, but a tube regulated power supply makes a big difference. FWIW, both the 3.1 and the 3000 had transistorized power supplies. Cheers, John |
It would almost cost more to build one than to buy another used one. If you want to sell you unit as is let me know. I am on the alta vista audio website [email protected] |
