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?

Not quite an 81 but I have 2 pairs of HF35s. 35watt mono amps. One is a Stu Remmington rebuild with chokes and fixed bias. They are glorious.
