Dear All,
after I owned a Counterpoint SA 3000 for a decade or so, I would like to buy the venerable Counterpoint 5.1 all-tubes preamp. The problem is that most of them are sold in the USA, but I live in Italy where the main is 220Vac.
Doing some internet research I discovered that Michael Elliot, founder of Counteropint and later Aria Audio Ltd, discontinued his business. He was also selling Counteropoints upgrades and repair. I contacted him on an old e-mail address, but no answer.
I'd like to get a 5.1 preamp but I want to be sure that I can manage to make the PSU working. Looking at some pictures of the rear PSU I had the impression that (as was usual at time) the PSU trafo can be arranged to accept several voltages.
Is there somebody out there that has a schematic, or have any experience with the PSU AC input voltage?
I hope somebody can help.
Regards
Pietro
