The unit works but requires new phono sockets on the back of the MM connection, I found that the loud humming was due to my electrical sockets upstairs, which are on a different circuit, there is still a low hum, but this could be due to several reasons , bad interconnects and my neighbour I am sure has something plugged in to stop me enjoying the music, I am sure it is easily fixed or may not even be there as it comes and goes. the sound quality is superb, even though its a bit industrial looking, the mono switch also help a lot especially when playing mono records, the mute switch is also very useful. The SA 3000 is now getting scarce and becoming a collectors item, due to its superb sound quality, they now sell for between £1100 to £1300 and either from Europe or USA which means shipping and taxes, this represents good value, as I have discounted it for the work required to fix it, as well as the included rare and highly expensive valves. This is a Hybrid Tube & Solid State buffers preamplifier Collection Preferred Superb Valve Phono Stage that uses 2 x 6922 valves very expensive 6922 OTK gold Pin Valves hardly uses as you can see by the pinsDriver valve is a very Very rare 1980s NOS Gold Dragon Valve gold pin, extremely expensive , original Chinese valve, as you again can see by the pins hardly used Valves today would cost around +£300 and they are not available to buy SA-3000 Preamplifier. This preamplifier was between the SA-1000 and the SA-5000. It features hybrid buffer/tube phono stage and line stage. It can accept MM or MC cartridges; the MC step up stage is solid-state. Technical Summary:The unit has two 6DJ8 tubes in the phono stage and a single 6DJ8 in the line stage. As with all Counterpoint preamps, there are two gain stages in the phono section with passive riaa equalization. The line stage is a single stage. There is no loop feedback All tube stages are followed with solid-state buffers, two per channel in the phono stage and one per channel in the line stage. The phono stage can be configured as a JFET/tube cascode for MC cartridges, or a simple tube stage for MM cartridges. Five line-level inputs plus tape in. Dual pairs of tape outs and main outs. Input Selector, Tape monitor, Mono/Stereo, Balance, Volume, Mute and Power controls. Solid-state power supply voltage regulator fed by vacuum-tube rectifier, and external transformer box and an all Aluminium front panel finished in silver anodize
