Service and owners manual for CounterPoint SA-1000?
« on: 19 Oct 2023, 04:35 pm »
Hi guys, I just bought a CounterPoint SA-1000 preamp and can't find an owners or service manual anywhere. Does anyone have one? I am willing to pay if needed.
Thanks in advance, Nut

  • To whom more was given more will be required.
    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

Thanks a bunch but they only have the schematic... no manuals. The HiFi Engine has that & I downloaded it before posting this thread.
Still need the manuals if anyone has one or knows where I might get them.

According DIY Audio guys what there is, is a schematic only. Service Manuals is thing of big Japanese manufacturers with worldwide client base, small manufacturers as Counterpoint, Joule-Electra, Inspire, Decware, Wright Audio etc do not have service manuals to avoid out of factory repairs, at most a schematic. If you find one send me a copy.

Well, that is not correct. I have had 5 Counterpoint units and all had manuals. There are several posts on the SA-1000 that mention service manuals but they are all around 20 years old. There has to be one out there somewhere.

Its common that many audio manufacturers not to provide their service manuals to his custumers, they are restricted to internal use.

In the early 1990s a friend tech guy who didnt understand English needed the service manual from a McIntosh power amp and asked me help. I contacted the factory that 4 months later sent me only the schematic and some advert material from the new Mac amps.

Another company that use service manuals is AR, but its not as friendly as McIntosh.
