Hello again Tom: It's hard for me to describe the sound of an amp but what was different about the HF-81 was that instruments sounded more real. My pet peeves are cymbals, percussive's including piano, brass and strings and the Eico did a better job of it. So I guess that it would be in the more analytical category but it was also full sounding. Vocals on either amp were great, the bass was a little firmer on the Eico. I used Rogers LS3/5a moniters at the time that I had both the Dynacos and the Eico (not Advents). The Eico used EL84's and was constructed point to point instead of using boards as Dynaco did. It did not use the 7199 but something else, I can't remember what. I am not technically inclined and am just a listener. If you can work on this stuff yourself it would be a nice addition to your Dynaco amp. I have recently realized that I prefer to have two different systems and/or a variety in one system. It is easier than expecting one setup to do it all and it is more fun. Since I have already had quite a few push/pull tube amps I have decided to put together a little inexpensive SET setup for our spare bedroom (you know the two choices). This will be new to me and hopefully as much fun as the old tube amps were. I understand your enthusiasm for the Dynaco as I felt the same as you when I first owned it. Then I felt the same way about the Eico, then I picked up a pair of McIntosh 30 mono blocks that were even better and on and on. I will not agree with you that a Stereo 70 blows away modern tube equivalents like the Jolida for instance. But I will say that it is a much more "musical" sounding amp than any of the NAD's, Rotel's, Arcam's etc. and that if I had choose among any of these and other SS offerings I would definatly go for the Dynaco because it sounds much more like music.
