I owned both in the past,the Sunfire a couple of years ago and the Counterpoint (used) about 15 years ago.
The Sunfire was an OK sounding preamp.The Counterpoint was exceptional!!!
Of course,I never heard them at the same session or had a chance to A/B the two,but I would opt for the SA-5000 in a heartbeat!!!
Is the Sunfire remote controlled? I cannot remember.If so,that would be the only advantage.
