FROM: Stereophile Magazine: "The EICO HF-81 is simply a fantastic-sounding amplifier that, properly restored, can sound better than most any single-ended triode (SET) amp of similar power.
Strong words, I know, from this audio loon. But I am amazed at the level of performance this old stuff has. We know that recordings from the 1950s and '60s can sound spectacular. If the electronics gear back then could get so much into the recording, it makes sense that it can get it out on playback just as well.
The HF-81 has a cult following on the Internet. I got 1060 Google hits for "EICO HF-81," and the first one listed was Kelly Holsten's site. Holsten was so impressed with his HF-81 that he built this website to tell the world about how shockingly good it sounds."

Dynaco A35 speakers (2), excellent grille and wood (could use another stain). Excellent-sounding perfect for this amp.
