In Reply to: Counterpoint Preamps: SA-3.1 vs SA-5.1 ??? posted by Eastside_guy on March 1, 2007 at 22:11:06:
I worked for a Counterpoint dealer during the period that those preamps were in production but the our frame of reference was vinyl. I don't recall ever comparing the line stages only. Through phono the 5.1 was a significantly better preamp in almost every regard although the 7.1 and 3.1 were also good at their respective price points. The 5.1 was sonically very competitive with contemporary ARC and C-J preamps. I definitely preferred it to the warmer, less resolving C-Js. As I'm sure you are aware the Achilles' heel of most Counterpoint products was reliability but units still in play at this point should have had any problems fixed.
