I'm probably not your usual knowledgeable Hafler owner but I kinda do qualify as I owned (& stll own) a Hafler. It first got "upgraded" to a B&K which is now used to power the fronts of one HT system. I then upgraded to a used Odyssey amp - and if anything that's been the favorite. I stopped acquiring more gear for the sake of more gear a few years back but still have the Hafler (back BR/office 2-channel system) and it's still a favorite - but the Odyssey is what I listen to most. I'll admit that I might be eyeing something new but until I hear a positive difference I'm just not getting more for the sake of more.
Hafler modded amp question
an informal poll if you please for anyone that owned a Hafler amp with Musical concepts mods
1) What do you have now for an amp?
2) what did your hafler replace
For myself I still have a DH-200 with pretty much all the mods that are DIY plus a few tweaks. I have a very selfish motive in asking this... I spent $2200 on an integrated amp from Canada in 2001, that a $200 stock Hafler amp purchase on EBay blew away for stereo imaging in 2006. So looking to see if a pattern emerges for what knowledgeable Hafler owners upgrade to and which amps they preferred the Hafler over.
