Is the Eico HF 81 really that good?


I read about the little Eico integrated in Stereophile. They said it was incredible. Does anyone here have any direct experience with this unit?

The sole reason why I am a long time Agon member, musicophile and gear nerd is because, beginning early in 1967, I moved to Brookline, MA, and my new and best friend's dad had an Eico HF81 fed with a Dual table powering AR 2s. Over the next couple of years I heard on that system, in a large living room, for the first time, just-released Hendrix, Beatles, Tull, Airplane, Stones, Janis, Who, Zep, Taylor and others. That system filled and energized that room and I will never forget it.

If the Eico HF81 had anything to do with, yeah, it's a good one.
