Macintosh MA 6100 vs Hafler DH 220



I just bought a clean Macintosh MA 6100 integrated amp at a bricks and
motar auction. I haven't done anything with the 6100 other than
plugging it in (all the lights work and it didn't blow a breaker) and
it will be a few days before I can put it in my system and make an
evaluation. I currently have a Hafler 220 amp and Hafler 110 preamp. I
know that the Mac was built to the highest standards of the mid 70s,
but even my Hafler, a modest piece of equipment, has poly caps, metal
resistors, better pots etc. If I like the way the Mac sounds, would it
be worthwhile or even desirable to upgrade individual components? My
system is two channel, music only and I listen to FM, CDs and records.
