Hafler DH 500
« on: June 05, 2017, 11:45:45 AM »
I bought a Hafler 500 at local estate sale.  It is replacing my Parasound HC1000.  Currently listening to 'Blood on the Tracks" on CD.  Very nice musical detail and clean low bass.

I assume it bests the Parasound by a decent margin?  Always liked the sound of those old Haflers.

It seems to have a much "bigger" sound, which makes sense, as its twice the power.
