I built a Hafler amp before many of the younger Head-Fi'er's today were even born (1982 or so). One of my earliest attempts with a soldering iron. I gave the amp to my sister some time ago. It's still working today... and still sounds great.

Hafler was one of the audio greats. He will be missed.

Not to long ago a friend gave me an old David Hafler amp. It was realy beat on and was being used for a PA system before he got it. I put it into my system and for being an old beat on thing it was far more musical than the Tubed Counterpoint I was useing. and the sound stage was way improved also. It replaced the counterpoint until it gave up the ghost.
Sad to hear of his passing!

That was my first real hi end gear. I built a DH110 preamp and a DH 220 amp. This was about 1982. Man his stuff was pretty good, especially at its price point.

His stuff from Dynaco was incredible as well. I have a Dynaco FM-3 tuner, and it still plays well.

I met David a couple of times during the early 80's. Very sorry to hear of his passing. He was a true audio pioneer.

My entry into audio was with Dynaco and David Hafler Co. It was affordable could be tweaked and it sound good. Thanks for the start D.H.
