New Power Cable on a 1990 Hafler DH120?


Is it worth putting an upgraded power cord on my 1990 Hafler DH120?  I am considering upgrading because it is rather old.  Still sounds good IMO.  Maybe I could get some better sound with a new cable.  Considering a GR Research cable.

Thoughts?

@wlp3 I might suggest you get a really good drill bit and power through the steel and find a grommet that will capture the cable of your choice. Forget an IEC--worthless additional connection in this case and would be a pain in the rear cutting through all that steel. Go with the cable you desire and size accordingly.

I might suggest Supra Lorad would be a good choice. Go for the heavier gauged one. Flexible, easy to work with.

Also, agree with replacing those caps

Lots has changed over the past 30 years, especially civility. Very sad but there are still those out their willing to give a hand. Good luck.

PS-built a Hafler pre/power amp years ago. Good memories.

Contact John Hillig at Musical Concepts to determine REAL options for spending your money for amp improvements.

Replace the power supply caps and any electrolytic bypass caps on the individual amp channels.  You'll get much better return on investment.

Sorry you were surprised with some of the responses. I think most of it is due to extra tight underwear. Or, possibly a lack of naps.
