I just recently borrowed a DH500 till my Odyssey Khartago was returned from being upgraded. I hooked it up to my large horn speakers and Eastern Electric Minimax preamp and WOW it sounded wonderful. A warmish but nice big involving soundstage with good transparency, a very musical amp. I had to be careful with volume since the DH500 is a powerful sucker, more watts then my speaker rating! Once I finally received the Khartago and hooked it up I noticed it had the same attributes as the DH500 but the Khartago was more revealing and more refined. But I left the DH500 with a very good feeling about its sonics, thinking it was a great piece of gear for the price. With further minor upgrades it could easily compete with any modern solid state amp.
Today was like Christmas...found Hafler DH 500
I was going through some things at my dad's house this morning. Opened a closet door and there was this black box with 2 binding posts staring at me. I wondered what that could be.....a Hafler DH500. I forgot I even bought it years ago. I remember that it had been modded....but that was 15-20 years ago.
Is it worth playing?? How does it stack up with todays amps.
I also picked up a Accuphase P300 that I had stored there. The P300 was really built well....and has meters...I love meters. So I am going to have it upgraded.
Has anybody upgraded the P300? How does it sound
I just had my C200 upgraded and it sounds great....the caps haven't come up yet. It should really improve after 100 hours. Btw all unit are atleast 9/10...Thanks for any input.
