Panamahat,
yes is a good price, but is it in perfect working and cosmetic condition? Be sure before to buy it, the transport is the most fragile(the mechanism of optical lens is fine tunning) piece of system...

gryfon762

If I may suggest to you take your great sounding DA10 Counterpoint(it's possible to upgrade it to 24/96, and many people tell me with very impressive results), for the transport don't spend a lot of money to buy a used Forsell Air Reference MK II(not very good transport for the money to pay), looking for a good used Wadia(only transport mounting VRDS transport)or great Krell MD20, both transports are very good choise...

The right choice...congratulations.
I look forward to receive your opinion on your upgraded Counterpoint gear by Mike Elliott...

Hi Panamahat,
it's true many Counterpoint electronics(power amp, preamp)can to failure after many years, but the quality sound that give to listen is very particular, I can try to call "The Spirit of the sound"! You try to upgrade your Counterpoint power amp and get a SA3000 or 5000 preamp on the used market(to do this on the USA used market is very simple!) and I can assure to you that you'll not repent doing it! Belive me..

Hi Panamahat,
I can suggest to you, if you like the sound of your Conuterpoint power amp, to visit
http://www.altavistaaudio.com/, Mike Elliot can replace your old failured transformer with a new superb plitron transformer, Mike can do many upgrades on this wonderful sounding power amp. Belive me, many regarded power amp like Mark Levinson don't have the musicality of your power amp and if you want to change also the preamp looking to SA3000 or better SA5000 will do a great combo with your NPM Counterpoint.
