Hafler 500 back in rotation
EmperorNorton:
Hey folks,
Some time back, I noticed a scratchy channel on the Hafler and put it aside for the Parasound. This past Monday I was loaned a very nice amp to "review" and it blows away the Parasound. So I pulled the Hafler back out and the right channel is still low and scratchy. I notice there are fuse holders on the back for the right and left channel. The right channel fuse is blown. I bought a couple packs of fuses at Advance Auto. (10A AGC fuses and 3A AGC fuses.). The blown fuse was a 5A 3AG. The left fuse is a reads 32 VOLT on one end and I can't make out the other end but it has a strip of metal rather than the thin wire that was on the blown fuse. I installed two 10A AGCs and the Hafler seems fine. Was just wondering if these are all basically the same fuses even though the 3AG is not the same as the AGC.
Thanks in advance
The Emperor

I would use the 10A fuses. Read here: http://www.hifi-classic.net/review/hafler-dh-500-287.html

Might we inquire as to the 'very nice' amp.... inquiring minds, N@....

Friend runs a Hafler 500 on the mains of a pair of DQ-10"s. Pretty sweet setup especially with the DQ-1 subs.

Wish I could tell you more but I don't know much about it. An audio guy I know emailed me and asked if I could give the amp he built a listen and give an opinion. It has tubes on the input and transistors on the output. Big, heavy and heats up the listening room quite nicely.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
