New user here. I have a SA 7.1 (powering 2 SA-12s UG'd to NP-220s).
I am bringing the SA 7.1 back into usage. It was owned since new (over 30 years). Asking this question as it is not a straight, stock SA-7.1.
Around 25 years ago, I sent it in to Counterpoint for a rework where they may have UG'd it to a SA-1000 circuit (I don't remember but I do know the line stage was reduced to just a 6DJ8 tube from two va means of a plug-into-the-two-6DJ8-socket circuit board). I didn't use it due to a change in life until 11 years later when I powered it up and found the amp was dead and didn't feel I needed to pay Alta Vista quite a bit to further UG it.
Earlier this year, I opened up the amp and found that there was a leaking capacitor (which some shop failed to notice). Replaced it (C302 or C301 - it's for the line stage) and it's working. Now I want to get a new turntable (found my old LPs).
Question is, the SA-1000 has a setting for MC or MM cartridge usage. Does such an option exist on this UG'd SA-7.1 or normal 7.1s??
