Counterpoint SA1000 Dual Channel Tube Preamplifier & SA-12 Hybrid Stereo Power Amplifier

For sale is a Counterpoint SA1000 dual channel tube preamplifier & a Counterpoint SA-12 stereo power amplifier, both in good condition. Our tech has gone through and confirmed that these pieces are in perfect working condition. Cosmetically, on the preamplifier, there are a few small scrapes along the top edge of the face plate, and a couple black scratches on the top of the body. Overall, this is a great preamplifier that carries a reputation of punching above its weight.

The power amplifier has just been serviced and all that was fixed was a fuse. We ran it with preamplifier and were impressed with the combo. They played very well with no hiccups whatsoever. Cosmetically it is in good shape for a piece that is roughly 30 years old. There are some scrapes along the top edge of the faceplate and 4 small nicks by the power switch. The top of the body has some light scratches as well. All blemishes can be seen in the photos.

Preamplifier Review:
"This is a preamp that punches well over it's weight class. It is a modern preamp in that it uses very transparent components, and leaves nothing on the table when it comes to depth and width of field as a result. It's configurable MC section yields a highly immersive very transparent reproduction. I expected its bass to be muddy, but it isn't. Through my Outlaw M200 monoblocks and Thiel 3.5 speakers, it is a highly refined preamplifier." -Review by theaudiohiffle on Hifiengine
