RE: You are welcome for the info... HF85 etc

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

I had so much gear go thru my hands in the years 2006-2010: 2 Eico HF85s, Mac C20, ARC SP-3a, 2 Citation 1s, Conrad Johnson PV-2 (the same one, twice), Quicksilver. The first HF85 I bought locally and then "ruined" with orange drops and average electrolytics. I traded to a guy who was thrilled w/ it. The second I did very thorough work (was more experienced by then), but still sold because I needed the money.
I got into integrateds so didn't really need a preamp. Sold my Scott 299D to a friend, my Fishers, and kept the HF81; I didnt need hi power now. I listen to vinyl less and less. But enough about all that, your comments are enlightening, and opinions helpful.
Playing with an '80s Superphon Revelation II SS pre now.
cheers,
Pete
