EICO
amps are some of my favorite "oldie" products. They have very
high quality output transformers and can produce excellent
results within their power range. The power amp stage can be
separated from the preamp in the integrated units and is quite
neutral and open sounding.
The preamp sections have many ceramic caps which give it a real
"vintage" sound.
We usually leave the ceramic caps in the tone control sections
so as to not radically alter the sound quality. Replacement with
high quality modern caps will improve sound quality in
audiophile terms, but this option is left to the customer to
decide. These units
were made with very cheap passive passive components, so we
usually replace all carbon resistors , paper caps and filter
caps. These are
nice amps, always a surprise as to how pleasing and musical they
sound.
Full restoration will run from about 200.00 to 375.00, depending on
model and extent of service required.
