Hafler DH 500 update?


My brother just gave me an early DH 500. It seems to sound fine to me. It hasn't been used alot for many years so I am wondering if I should at least have it checked out and have the old board components upgraded or just go ahead and use it until something gives out. In other words, would I gain anything by premptive action?

"Tube in contrast seem to retain there dynamics at a lower volume level..Does anyone else feel the same?"

I do, and the lower I go, the more "single ended" seems to be the best. There are exceptions of course. I was surprised at how good my ss Pass XA.5's sound a low volumes. I read Nelsons description of the circuit and guess what? He biases these to run "single ended" at very low volumes. Even at louder volumes, you have times where the music decays into silence.
