About the SA2000
The Counterpoint SA-2000 preamplifier, introduced in 1989, exemplifies hybrid technology by combining a single 6DJ8 tube stage with a solid-state video buffer to deliver a warm, natural tube sound alongside the precision and stability of solid-state circuits. It is designed without loop feedback to maintain signal purity. The unit offers six line-level inputs (CD, Tuner, Video, Aux1, Aux2, Ext. Phono), two tape inputs, two main outputs, and dual tape outputs, providing versatile connectivity. Controls include input selector, tape monitor, mono/stereo switch, balance, volume, mute, and power on/off. The power supply features a solid-state voltage regulator powered by a tube rectifier for stable, clean energy. Dimensions are 48.5 x 34 x 12.5 cm, weight 8 kg, and power consumption 22 Watts at 240V, 50/60Hz. The SA-2000 is highly regarded for its musicality, wide soundstage, and detailed timbral accuracy, though it is no longer in production.
