The DH-110's low noise and distortion, versatily control center is the standard bearer of the Hafler line. The DH-110 challenges comparison at any price on any criteria.
The improvements the DH-110 lends to your system are obvious the moment you start to listen. A three-dimensional image takes shape, acoustics are more accurate, voices are more precise transients are more articulate.. With the DH-110 reproduced sound becomes real.
Facilities include two magnetic phono inputs, two complete tape circuits with monitoring facilities and LED indication of monitoring mode a separate input-output loop for an equalizer or other signal processor a switchable highpass filter easy conversion to rack mounting (adapters are supplied), a front panel jack for most high impedance headphones, or for tape recording, and two pairs of audio outputs - one of which is switched by the headphone jack for private listening.
The full complementary symmetry circuit employs all discrete silicon transistors - no ICs. Precisions components hold very tight tolerances on inter-channel balance and RIAA equalization. This assures accurate phase relationships for correct spatial perspectives. An integral muting circuit eliminates turn-on and turn-off annoyances. The precision volume control ,maintains accurate balance between channels. The tone controls are effective while audibly unobtrusive but may be totally bypassed.
Less obvious significant refinements include a full power bandwidth that extends to 200 kHz, easily accommodating problem signals, a low impedance power supply; the use of low distortion low dielectric loss capacitors; silver plated contacts on the selector switches for long term noise-free operation; internal grounding of unused inputs for lower crosstalk; internal sockets for phono loading capacitors to accommodate specific cartridges; and a very wide phono acceptance level to handle the full dynamic range of the best cartridges.
