I used a couple of counterpoint preamps back in the nineties. I had the SA200 Linestage, and the SA5000 with phono. The latter was their flagship and a class B rated preamp in Stereophile.
Compared to the likes of Audio Research and CAT, I found the Counterpoint model to sound a bit veiled. I also prefered my VAC CPA 1 MKll to the Counterpoint offerings. I hope this is of some help to you. Good Luck.
