Counterpoint - Alta Vista - Mike Elliott

I was just informed that Mike has stopped all business because of health reasons. The Alta Vista Website confirms this. I know some of you may have had some issues dealing with Mike in the past but Mike was always a professional to me and accommodating to all of my dumb questions. I learned so much from his designs and I know that they were way ahead of their time. I just finished modifying an SA-5000 for a few audiophiles based on the information provided on the Alta Vista Audio website and they sound excellent. I still own the current version of the NP-220 power amp.

Well my thoughts and prayers go out to Mike and his family.

Thanks Mike for everything.

Does anyone have service manual/schematic of sa-5000? I could not find one in the web. I can pay for it.

You can contact me or Johnson Wu for Counterpoint info.  I also have an ad on eBay for Counterpoint repairs.  I do have the license to upgrade the amp boards form the 6DJ8 design to the 6SN7 design.
I am in New Jersey.  Johnson is in CA.
Happy Listening.

Hey bigkidz, we own a Counterpoint SA1280 and SA2000 amp and preamp that need repairs.  We live in NYC. Is there a way to contact you directly?  I tried to find you on ebay, but could not locate you there and the Alta Vista site is closed down.  Thank you.

I have the license to convert the Counterpoint power amplifiers to the newer upgraded 6SN7 boards if anyone is interested.
