After I completely hooked up the Adcom GFA-5500 that way like my Adcom GFA-555's are the 5500 sounded a lot smoother and much more toned down with much more clearity. It was still just a shade and I mean a shade different in complete clearity and warmth than the GFA-555's sound. The GFA-5500 is still a great amp and you wouldn't notice the difference like I would since I'm used to listening to the 555. tow truck service Weakness:

The Hafler, Philips and Thiel are old but the music sounds true. As a former musician I hear what I think is quite natural sound. The Thiels I have read are quite revealing of anything "upstream". I believe it! towing service Weakness:

The 9180 is a good product to start with - I did. However, it is not up to par with High end amps. My mid fi McCormack absolutely puts any Hafler amp to shame - Better bass, mids and highs with pinpoint imaging. Weakness:

I acquired my Hafler 9180 from a friend who was moving. He said it didn’t work and if I can get it repaired, it’s mine. I found a guy who could make the amp work and have been enjoying it for over five years. Once it warms up the sound is rich and lively. I use an Adcom preamplifier and run the system to a set of klipsch infinity floor speakers. There are tracks that blow my mind. I struggle with the idea that there might be an amp bette than this one. It would have to be damn good. Weakness:
Like some have mentioned, the right channel can get wonky. I happen to think the issue lies primarily with my preamp since it has no DAC. I’m working on improving the device. The amp, though, is wonderful other then the occasional channel fade out. Price Paid: 0

I agree with all other compliments about the Hafler 9180. Owned mine since I think 1993 or '94? Purchased it through a close out sale for a mere $400!! At the time I knew this was a really good price for this amp. I was a bit surprised no one wanted it.

Perfect addition o my frankenstein home theater system. This is a 25 year old amp and still amazing! Beats the pants off all the budget separate amps i've owned like Adcom, Emotiva, Acurus and Parasound. It even goes head to head with the expensive British equipment like Naim and Audiolab.

To me the Hafler 9180 amp is one of the very best amps money can buy in the used audio market. I bought mine brand new in 1994 and can you believe, I still own this amp. I currently have it hooked up to a 1989 Conrad Johnson preamp. Musical fidelity from the combo is amazingly pleasurable and sweet to hear. Today, you can find this amp in good condition for about 200 bucks on average. Overall, the Hafler 9180 amp is constructed with the finest materials inside and out. Believe me, you will be totally delighted and pleased when you combined it a good quality pre-amp. Keep always in mine that in a sound system the most important audio piece is your pre-amp. That is the heart of great sounding music. So if you prefer individual components, spend your most money on your pre-amp and I assure you, you'll be left delighted. |
