Counterpoint SA-11 Manual

Ruzgar
I have a Counterpoint Sa5000 for many years which I had fully modded by Mike Elliot just before he went out of business . I remember there was someone to contact for manuals but that was 4or 5 years ago.  A guy whose handle on Agon is bigkidz does repairs on Counterpoint stuff you might want to try and shoot him a message. There were other repair guys listed back then who might be of help.I might be able to dig up this info if bigkidz can't help.

Hello Nick,
Thank you for your response. I've found the manual from Alta Vista but they are very expensive. But since then I've come to understand that my SA-11 has had a gold upgrade by Mr. Elliott. This is why some of the things don't work as they have been bypassed and was confusing me.

Yes it seems a lot of Counterpoint gear has been upgraded.  I know that Elliott generally built his gear to a price point hence the path to upgrade with better resistors,capacitors,internal wire, power supply,etc.. As I recall the Sa11 was his top of the line and out of my price range at the time.  You should consider yourself lucky to have nabbed one as they don't hit the secondary market often.  I was wondering what tubes it uses and how many.   If the the tubes are old or stock issue you can probably get a very big increase in SQ by going Nos .Good luck with unit.

Hello Nick,
I found the SA-11 in the Ukraine, I also found an SA-2 there too.
the tubes were a mixture of everything on the SA-11 when it arrived, I changed them all to good NOS tubes and it works sounds really good. My only problem now is the remote control that did not come with. And I need to change my phono cables from my turntable to shielded ones, any recommendations. But bearing in mind the cost not too expensive.
Thanks Ahmet
