My Counterpoint SA-12 may be in trouble... Fuse blew so I replace that. Powered up and (obviously) one of the caps did a slow burn -- massive amounts of smoke but it did not blow any fuses. I'm guessing they just dried up after all these years. I did have the tubes replaced about 10 years ago.
So... I either need to find someone that works on Counterpoints or start looking for a replacement. I was happy with the sound. Not overwhelmed but happy. I was thinking a PS Audio HCA-2 would be perfect but it seems they quit making those :).
I'm pretty much in the "poor mans" audiophile budget range.
Rega Planar II
Superphon Revelation II
Counterpoint SA-12 (currently deceased)
Dynaudio Contour 1.8 mk II's
Denon TU-600
Magnavox CDB650
Monster Power HTS3500
Nakamichi CR-7A (not used for many years)
Thanks for any suggestions.
