Eico HF 81 is just one of those el84 amps that can really deliver music into one's living presence. I salute this amp. And so with the Pilot SA 232 using the same tube compliment. So it was Sir George Harrison of Beatle fame who likes this tube! The review is a statement by itself how good vintage stuff can be. Sometime ago, a fisher 500 receiver I believe was reviewed by the same mag, and prices went up for fishers on ebay. Expect the same with the eico. I have nothing but regrets why I sold mine now that it's somewhat hall of famer now. Hang on to those amps. Their peculiar sound can never be replaced by a CJ!

Yup. I agree with ichabod: eico can deliver music into one's living presence.

I'm using mine with an omega 6R. Great with acoustic music, Beatles revival songs (I am Sam soundtrack), and Kill Bill soundtrack.

I tried the dynaco st70 with omega, but I preferred the hf81: details and the vocals are just there, good soundstage.
