Hamand for the win! SkiFi for $3200 is a waste of money! Go to the Stereophile archives to read a review and test of the HF-81. Pay attention to John Atkinson's measurements.
Yeah, definitely Ham & Hifi. Super clean unit, nice inside pics, decent parts used, no apparent silliness. Nice deal. Sky-fi is well into "dreamer" territory at $3K+; they are looking to make a lot of money. I know the HF-81 model is revered, but the Eico HF-22 (amp only, and you need a pair for stereo) seemingly flies under the radar - they sound GREAT and have more power!
Obvious from my OP that I don't respect Ski-High-Fi and this is a perfect example of a rip-off. I do have two sets of rebuilt (one modified) EICO HF-35s in regular use.
