Wprowadzenie do
The Hafler DH-200 is a 100 watts-per-channel MOSFET class AB stereo
power amplifier. MOSFETs are solid-state devices that work on
principals more similar to vacuum tubes than bipolar transistors — and it
sounds great!
35 years ago when the DH-200 was introduced, it astounded the world
in having performance so high that it exceeded the abilities of most
laboratory equipment of its day. It was also reasonably priced, making
this Hafler amplifier astounding both for its incredible performance and
unheard of price.
Today I have the modern laboratory equipment to allow me to test
exactly how good is this 35-year old sample, which I purchased in 1988.
I also have an even older one that I built from a kit after getting it from
Santa Claus for Christmas in 1981. Both have served me well for all
these decades.
Like most made-in-USA audio gear, it easily outperforms its rated
specification. This 30-year-old sample easily put out 116 WPC
continuous and 164 W burst power into 8Ω.
The DH-200 was sold as a kit or fully assembled. The kits came with the
two amplifier modules completely assembled and tested; kit assembly
was assembling the case then wiring the power supplies, switches and
connectors together.
Assembled versions came with a full 1-year warranty, and the kits came
with a 1-year warranty on parts. In reality, I built a
from a kit in
1981, and about 15 years later I had a small problem and phoned Hafler. They recognized
the problem and sent me two new transistors, free of charge. That fixed it and it's run
perfectly ever since.
The amplifier tested here was purchased used in 1986 in Thousand Oaks, and I'm testing
it today in 2014. It still easily exceeds its specifications nearly 30 years later, and I doubt
it's ever been serviced.
This amplifier is from the very pinnacle of home High Fidelity. Products got better and
better ever since home amplifiers were invented in the 1920s, but video took over home
entertainment by the late 1980s, and home Hi-Fi equipment never evolved past this stage.
Newer Hafler amplifiers, and the home audio market in general, has been neglected for
lack of interest ever since the VCR became affordable to everyone in the late 1980s.
There are newer amplifiers, but few are better than this Hafler DH-200.
David Hafler was one of the founders of Dynaco in 1954, and started the Hafler company
in 1977.
Circuit Design
It's a traditional class AB linear power amplifier in a sheet metal steel case.
It has a traditional unregulated linear power supply with a big power transformer in the
middle of the case, a bridge rectifier and two 10,000 µF 75V capacitors on which I
measure ±55 VDC.
The "loose" regulation of the power supply gives it much greater burst power than
continuous (perfect for music), and also means that power output doesn't completely
double as speaker impedance halves.
It has eight power MOSFETs (4 per channel) in TO-3 packages mounted to two big
anodized aluminum heat sinks on opposite sides of the case.
There's a neon pilot light in the power switch as well as a yellow overtemperatgure light on
the front.

The DH-200 has one 5 ampere 3AG slow-blow power-input fuse, and 5A 3AG fast-blow
fuses on the B+ and B- rails of each of the two power amp modules.
It has speaker fuses to protect your speakers from you doing something stupid. Most
amplifiers don't have speaker fuses. Unique to the DH-200, the speaker fuses are inside
the feedback loop to maintain high damping factor and null any sonic degradation form the
fuses.

Marvelous, there's only a ±0.1 dB variation. The only reason there seems to be an 0.1 dB

Nearly no distortion at full power.
The right channel has extra second harmonic distortion in the range of about 10 W as
you'll see next; probably from wire routing errors.

Curious about the greater distortion in the right channel between 1 W and 100W, i looked
into it and it's all second harmonic distortion, which might go away with careful rerouting of
the internal wiring. I didn't build this one, and Hafler cautions to follow the instructions
exactly otherwise audio wires routed incorrectly near power supply wires will lead to extra
distortion at higher power levels.

Compared
Compared to most (bipolar) transistor amplifiers, this MOSFET amp draws more power
and runs hotter at idle. Think of it as a larger class-A area, and that the FETs are operating
under similar principles to vacuum tubes — but with much higher performance.
The DH-200 of 1979 is David Hafler's first amplifier under his own company.
Next came the DH-220 (110 WPC) of 1982. The DH-220 was a slightly more powerful
version of the
of 1979 (100 WPC). The DH-500 was the beastly 255 WPC version
that came next.
The DH-120 of 1984 was a smaller version of the DH-220.
The DH-220 and DH-120 have rounded heat sink fins which are much more comfortable
for carrying compared to the sharp, square fins if this DH-200. All perform excellently
All these amplifiers are 100% Made-in-USA and were sold both as kits or fully assembled.
I'm amused that even at 30 years old it easily outperforms modern state-of-the-art class D
amplifiers like the

newer and add some very dim clipping indicators, while these Haflers offer integrated
speaker fuses and sturdier construction. I don't find the clipping indicators as useful as
integrated speaker fuses, so I prefer these Haflers.

at 100 milliWatts.
Distortion at low power seems to rise from levels seen at 1 Watt above driving a resistive
load, however these readings are a result of the amplifier's noise at a lower power level.
My ears prefer not to tolerate driving the
at 1 watt with sine waves in the
lab; even at 100 milliWatts its louder than I'd prefer.
