HELP! Hafler DH-200 misbehaving!

A bit of a belated response here... lid wrote: Colin, SUCCESS! Experience has taught me a good troubleshooting strategy for these amps and the first 4 transistors are almost always the main culprits when too much DC offset is present. And, as you found, the solution is relatively simple for those who have good soldering skills. Indeed, success at last! My soldering skills were a bit rusty, but have come back with a vengeance. My next plan is to replace my crappy iron with a nice new station (Weller WES51, or Hakko 936--any opinions folks?) and then start putting all of my other projects back together. As an aside, this amp may be up for sale before too long. Just a heads up. Thanks again, everyone who helped. Colin Colin, What about the temperatures of both the left and right heat sinks? Have they begun to be similar? FWIW, I keep my Haflers of this vintage biased at around 325 mA. The original factory spec was around 250 mA (conservative) per channel and many guys bias theirs up to 450 mA per channel -- if the amp is kept properly ventilated. Supposedly a Hitachi MOSFET reaches optimum operating area with 100 mA of bias so if you add up this number for each of the 4 MOSFETs per channel and include around 50 mA to drive the circuit card, you can understand how the 450 mA figure is derived. However, the stock heat sinks are just not large enough for much of anything beyond 350 mA -- at least in my experience -- and I don't like the sound of a ventilating fan. Dick the "HaflerLover" |

Dick the "HaflerLover" In effect you are saying that the Hafler design is flawed as 450ma is grossly different from 200-250ma. You may be correct but what objective testing have you done to verify that any bias different from the Hafler spec is better? Have you performed THD or IM distortion tests at 450ma vs 200-250ma or any other type of test other than listening? How, if at all, does the change in bias affect the power rating or other specs as listed in the Hafler manual? Robert G, No, I am not saying the design is flawed. The heat sinks could be a little larger, but this amp was designed to meet several price points, it was never portrayed as a cost-no-object state-of-the art amplifier. Biasing of Hitachi MOSFETs and the resultant sound seems to exist on a contiuum and the observed sound difference between a 300mA and 400mA bias per channel is subtle, at best. Time and again "experts" comment about the subtle improvement in sound as these devices are biased at a higher current level. Noever, in any of the many articles I have read over the last 20 years were deleterious effects mentioned, such as the THD or IM measures you mention. Personally, I have not run the tests you describe and I really wish you or someone competent would do so. In the meantime I will ask you if you are familiar with the Audio Amateur article (4/1981) by Walt Jung and Dick Marsh on the mods for this amp? These authors, very competent and well known EEs and circuit designers, state the amp should be biased at 400-425 mA per channel. Contact John Hillig at Musical Concepts and he will state that these devices sound best when biased up to 100 mA each or 400 mA per channel. Mr. Hillig is a competent circuit designer. I realize that these "golden ear" type comments are anathema on this technically oriented newsgroup, but science and art have to coexist, don't you agree? If you can bring to us any of the type of objective "proof" you mention I believe we all would be grateful. Dick |

Don't know about Dick, but it seems to me that the bias would help eliminate crossing distortion, wouldn't it? If so, it should be pretty easy to measure on a 'scope. As for measuring THD, I've got a lovely old distortion analyser in the basement that tops (bottoms?) out at 0.1% THD. Anyone want to buy it? :-) Colin |

HELP! Hafler DH-200 misbehaving!
The datasheets for the Hitachi Power MOSFETs indicate the zero tempco bias
point is apprx 100mA per device. That's the main reason the 100mA number is so "popular". It's actually a different for the N and P channel devices but 100mA per device is close enough for rock and roll, as they say :-) Currently, I am using somewhat similar lateral MOSFETs manufactured by Toshiba in my amp (circuit is kinda/sorta similar to a later Hafler product), biased at over 300mA per device with 4 devices in parallel per rail per amplifier. I've got bigger heat sinks than the Hafler DH200, though. And I don't use +/-65V rails. I'm driving 4 ohms loads - Kef 104/2 speakers. Very nice indeed :-) Michael lid wrote in : |
