Re: Counterpoint Preamps: SA-3.1 vs SA-5.1 ???

68.5.79.63

Thanks for the explanation. I buy it now.. So the 5.1 is far
and away better sounding. It also looks like it was far more
reliable than the 3.1

All those tubes in the 5.1 scare me. It must cost a mint in maintence to run a 5.1 it has what 8 tubes total compared to 3 tubes in the 3.1? Holy crap that's a lot of mulla to replace them
all. I would only be using line level so in the 3.1 I would only
have 1 tube to worry about I think.. More to think about.. I need
a black, low-profile tube preamp due to space reasons so the
counterpoint was the only thing I could think of that had the
tubes running horizontally..
