Re: Counterpoint Preamps: SA-3.1 vs SA-5.1 ???
Posted by Modegard on March 3, 2007 at 18:32:17:
I would like to put a plug in for the Counterpoint SA-3.1. I have owned one since the late 1980s and only recently sold it. It has never been in for repair, and has always provided excellent service. I never had the problems you hear about Counterpoint preamps, such as bad balance controls. Maybe I have been lucky. I always wanted a 5.1, but couldn't swing it due to high cost. You certainly don't see a lot of them out there. The hifi store I frequent, that used to be a Counterpoint dealer tells me the 5.1 was not a big seller. You might have already seen this website that details some of the differences between the 3.1 and 5.1: http://www.altavistaaudio.com/SA-5.html
