EICO HF-35 MONOBLOCKS!!
Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 2:07 pm
... rare and collectible...this is one of my reference EL-34 PP amp...spent over p120k+ to bring them in, have them restored (all premium parts) and re-tubed.
Letting go for "SOLD". Why? I have the even rarer Eico HF-60 (Eico's flagship monblocks) with Acrosound transformers .
I don't need 2 Eico monblocks, do I?
Here are the pics:

The monoblocks will include:
- matched pair Svetlana El34s (new)
- 5AR4 rectifier tubes
- NOS 6SN7
- NOS EF86

This is what Bob Higgins (an Eico collector, audiophile) wrote:
"I have a pair of these amps. I don't think I have ever heard any better sounding amps at any price.
Background noise is not detectable (with 90dB speakers). Dynamics are completely unrestrained. Harmonic signatures are lucid and natural. Vocal performers sound as if they were present in the room. HiFi disappears and only the music remains.
As near perfect as it gets.
Technically, the circuit used is the Mullard 520, a British equivalent of the seminal Williamson circuit. It is this circuit, plus the massive and excellent output transformers, that are responsible for the superior sound.
You DO NOT need to scour the earth for NOS output tubes. I am using JJ E34L's (purchased from Triode Electronics) and they sound excellent. "
