Reaping the Benefits!
With Autumn’s arrival, the weather chills, home fires burn brighter, and music becomes again a vital contributor to the warmth of our spirits. Fall is also the time to bring in the harvest and reward ourselves with the benefits of all the prior months’ labours.
In the previous blog, I described the Allnic products introduced since January, the new fruits of KS Park’s ingenuity and brilliant audio-engineering.
But besides this fresh “crop” of unparalleled, excellent audio gear, there are other ways to reap the benefits of Allnic’s, and our own, work.
If you’re interested in acquiring a piece of Allnic electronics at a great price, or an excellent device by another manufacturer, now is a great time to take advantage of the trade-in and demo products we have available. Please note that all Allnic products come with full factory warranty!
To start, though, I’d like to highlight the special pricing available on brand new units of the upgraded, final, “Special Edition” of a current product... The A-2000 25th Anniversary SE stereo power amplifier was introduced early in 2022 and came about because of now retired Allnic North American distributor Hammertone Audio working a special deal with Allnic for the last fifteen chassis of the award-winning A-2000 25th Anniversary.
The A-2000 25th Anniversary was a powerhouse and a paragon of stable, resolute power with clarity and finesse. With the modifications, the SE version sounds even better, and for the price, we think nothing will be able to touch it. It’s a great way to end the A-2000 25th Anniversary’s production run, and a great opportunity, limited by number of course, for anyone wanting a brand new Allnic power amp, one that can drive virtually any speaker, “for a song”, so to speak. Four units remain in stock for rapid delivery! Unfortunately, these are the last remaining units in USA. 1 Silver chassis, 3 black. The black chassis units have the newly released KT170 tubes. There will be no more Allnic amplifiers offered new in this price range moving forward. This is an opportunity not to ignore.
The KT150 based now discontinued A-2000 25th Anniversary SE is pentode/triode switchable “on-the-fly”, providing 100 watts/channel in pentode mode and more than 50 watts in SET sounding triode, and is available in silver or black at the truly exceptional price! Email or call about fantastic savings over the original version - especially in the current economic climate. The anticipated A-2000 30th Anniversary 'SE' will be released in July at $13,500. Like the T-2000 and the new M-3000 v3, a complete chassis and circuit redesign.
Review and award for the standard A-2000 25th Anniversary – July 2021!
Part-Time Audiophile named the A-2000 an Editor’s Choice!
It’s rare for me to review a product like this which is just so thoroughly sorted, and at what I find to be a very fair price…
If you’re in the market for an amp that does what the modern 100W per channel solid-state stereo amplifier purported to do; power anything big or small, do so quietly and with great character and flat frequency response, I’m here to tell you that you can do one better, and even get those magical glowing vacuum-sealed bottles while you’re at it. If you have an opportunity to lay ears on this amp—don’t miss it.

On to the trades and demos!
Winning the Audiokeys REVIEWS! Prestigious Diamond award, January 2024, one HPA-10,000 OTL/OCL Headphone amp and line stage preamplifiers is available at special pricing!
Notable opportunity! H-6500 demo, black unit. If you desire a H-6500 with 150 hours by one reviewer only, do contact us. Currently located in the Midwest and ready for immediate shipping. Rectifier upgrade included! This unit will not last long with the ever-popular and often reviewer-purchased units. Right from its first appearance on the market the response from H-6500 purchasers has been incredibly enthusiastic – amazingly, the following customer comments are not atypical:
“You told me to trust my ears, but I cannot believe my ears right now.”
“Unbelievable. I’m speechless. My records have never sounded this full!”
“At 50% volume the noise is so low.”
“I’m hearing witchcraft right now. The sound is sooo good.”
“Let me tell you, I’m blown away. It surpasses all my expectations.”
This kind of customer feedback is truly gratifying; it’s wonderful when a person gets back to us pleased with a purchase that performs beyond their expectations, thrilled with what the product has done for their music listening at home.
Much of the improved M-3000 MK3’s refinement is due to the circuit changes Mr. Park made for the MK3 to obtain the best performance from the KT170s. In addition to much larger power and output transformers, which are, of course, Allnic’s hallmark in-house manufactured permalloy specialties, the driver tubes have been changed to the very stable and reliable 5654 in the input position (providing many options for tube-rolling among brands and vintages) to the 6S4 (or 6S4A) triode in the critical second gain position – replacing the triode wired, and increasingly difficult to find, E282F pentode tube wired in triode. The 6S4 was also made by various manufacturers over many decades so can also be “rolled”; and as a “pure” triode, it contributes even more to the purity, the crystalline clarity and exemplary resolution of the M-3000 MK3. Call for Fall 2023 sale pricing!
If you’re aiming for great sound, Allnic will help you get there!

Allnic is a great choice and, first and foremost, analog but has ventured into the digital realm previously with the D-3000 and D-5000 DACs, both now discontinued. As with many of Allnic’s products, those two digital marvels used all-tube output stages coupled to Allnic’s in-house designed permalloy output transformers. The all new Allnic D-10000 OTL/OCL DAC is Allnic’s response to changes to digital processing industry-wide over the last decade and the great success of Allnic’s OTL/OCL (Output Transformer-less/Output Capacitor-less) headphone amp, the HPA-50000 -
Why OTL/OCL?
In common circuits, output capacitors or output transformers are required to separate the AC music signal from the DC operating potential. If this is not done, the latter will destroy the power amplifier, the loudspeakers, or both. However, these two coupling devices also introduce their own influences on the transmission of the musical signal, adding their own character (colouration), increasing distortion, and consuming small signals, all as predicted by physical efficiency theory. In addition, they also limit signal dynamics. For these reasons, the elimination of output transformers and capacitors has been considered the best solution for the design of the most accurate amplifiers. Removal of these two coupling devices from the signal path achieves the best results possible:
⦁ No colouration of the musical signal
⦁ Extremely detailed expression, natural harmonics, and subtle musical decay
⦁ The lowest possible distortion
⦁ The widest musical dynamics
Taking these factors into consideration, KS Park, Allnic’s founder and chief designer, decided it was time to look again at the world of digital music reproduction with the goal of producing a DAC that reproduces digital music on par with the very best analog devices he has created, to see if he could wed the purity of his OTL/OCL analog output designs to the very best of today’s DAC technology.
He has succeeded! The new flagship ALLNIC D-10000 OTL/OCL DAC is the product of this challenge, and according to early user feedback, is a fantastic addition to the top tier of Allnic’s products, a machine of true beauty, in sonics, audio engineering and industrial design.

L-6500 Preamplifier
We have a beautiful demo L-6500 preamp available at a significantly reduced price for an essentially brand-new unit.
With the exceptional sound quality we expect from Allnic, the L-6500 features 20dB gain, Allnic’s famous in-house designed and built permalloy output transformers – ensuring a constant low output impedance (ensuring it will work with almost all amplifiers), multiple balanced and single-ended inputs and outputs, NOS tubes, separate current meters for each channel and remote control. All this is in the new rugged chassis design that reduces vibration and matches the H-6500 and H-5500 phono stages. The new “baby” of the Allnic preamps definitely shares many of the outstanding features of its siblings. Read the recent HiFi+ review to get a handle on this product (no longer available for the introductory price) Allnic L-6500 Preamplifier HIFI+ Review May 2022
It may just make you want to really get your hands on this special offering.
The L-6500 retails for $9000 – One black chassis demo can be yours for $6500!
H-7000 Phono-stage Preamplifier - An Opportunity to own
Allnic's Legacy Product!
In on trade is a silver H-7000 Phono-stage Preamp in excellent condition. The H-7000 is stunningly beautiful, with a beefy CNC milled aluminum main chassis and weighing in at 45 pounds.
The H-7000 features large power and permalloy nickel signal path transformers, multiple inputs (2 MM and 2 MC), NOS Mullard E810F gain tubes, and a separate power supply robust enough to satisfy all tube rollers’ frenzied shootouts and Saturday night trials. Since the H-7000 became available, it’s had excellent feedback on vintage rectifiers tried and liked, such as the RCA 5U4G, GEC U52, and the Mullard family of CV378 (both bottle shapes), CV37, and 5AR4. A big all-time favourite is the WE422A.
And it’s another award winner!
