Eico HF-81 with Klipschorn


I recently brought Eico HF-81, intergrated tube amp. After hooking up with my Klipschorn with Sony SCD xa777 es. My interconnection and speaker cables are MIT. 14 Watts rocks my Klipschorn with new level of true sound that I've ever heard before. I only turned volume to 2 and sound is very warm, sweet, with mid range and base. I enjoy every night before bed time. HF81 is excellent choice for "wife factor."

I have no idea what you are talking about. I checked that I have a pair of Eico Mullard small tubes in middle position made in Britain (England). I wonder where I can buy any replacing tubes when they burn out with reasonable price.
Thanks Dfhaleycko for your information. I love my true system very much. My wife is happy with my expense after selling Mark Levinson No. 23 and 28 and B&W 801 Matrix series 2. I am surprising that using old MIT Tube MH750 speaker cables (costing $150) making Klipschorn singing with different level comparing Transparent MWS10 Super Speaker Cables. For pure analog, my Linn Sondek LP-12 makes Klipschorn singing more warm, light, and soft vocal, especially Partial Barber and Diana Krall. I am thinking about upgrading my Klipschorn crossover AA. But right now I am short cash for my remodel my house and wife factor controls finance. I can only afford buying crossover less than $150 sale including shipping. I can wait for right moment looking at used AA crossover for sale.
I recently upgrade new Cap 12uF and 2uF for crossover ($80 for upgrade crossover kit). I followed procedures on www.critesspeakers.com/crossovers.html. The sound is big difference when I play LP with more details on vocal and bass deeper than before. I hooked up Klipschorn with Dynaco ST70 and PAS3. Sound is much warmer than Eico HF81. For vocal, HF81 is winner as EL84 but ST70 with EL34 is classical symphoney.
