Allnic Audio specializes in seriously innovative, high-quality vacuum tube electronics. Thirty-five years of business success with consistently excellent reviews and customer feedback from around the world prove that Allnic products meet the highest standards for circuit and industrial design, longevity and, especially, sound quality. With in-house manufactured transformers and other components and an ever-growing record of spectacular “world’s firsts”, Allnic Audio is at the forefront of vacuum tube electronics design and sound quality.
While here, please take time to read on below, check out the Allnic products’ individual pages and peruse the reviews: (https://www.kevalinaudio.com/allnicreviewcurrentlist). We invite you to explore in depth Allnic’s extensive range of amplification devices, both integrated and separates, available at a wide variety of price-points.
Just for example, Allnic’s product range includes the Rose and Amber, uniquely designed, hand-built moving coil cartridges, and the impactful Mu-8RS custom phono cable package.
And now, the newly released HPA-300B integrated headphone amplifier joins the lineup! Like the T-1500 MKii, this integrated auto-biases but features Allnic's coveted 61-step Constant-Impedance Attenuator, tube rectification and exceptional headphone capability. Tune its sublime sound to your taste with your favorite 300B and compatible rectifier. MRSP $12,000 USD. Call or email for more information.
The HPA-300B released on the heels of the award winning HPA-10,000 OTL/OCL line-stage headphone amplifier. Both have unique qualities that impress, seamlessly coalescing with their associated home environments.
I would consider the HPA-10,000 OTL/OCL a more advanced circuit requiring some critical thinking when determining a failed tube, albeit a rare occurrence.
The 300B has a warm presentation and great bass extension. Like the DHT models, excels at delicacy and decay bringing emotion to the recording. The OTL is detail oriented with an overall neutral presentation.
Please explore this site and learn about the benefits of these technologies applied to the H-10,000 OTL/OCL Phono Stage and D-10,000 OTL/OCL DAC
Just a few among many others!!

THIS YEAR, LET ALLNIC HELP NURTURE YOUR LOVE OF MUSIC
If you’re reading this, we know you love music and appreciate its high-quality reproduction in your home. Allnic has a line of products, discussed below, that we’re sure can help you achieve the level of sound quality you’re working toward, and this year, Allnic is “going against the tide” to make achieving your audio goals easier.
We’ve just received official notice from Allnic that there is no price increase on Allnic’s electronics planned for 2024. The factory’s careful electronics manufacturing supplies market predictions and purchasing strategies throughout 2023 have made this feat possible in the face of extreme inflationary pressures. Excellent news!
At the same time, several new additions to the Allnic product line are almost ready for production. We’ll need to wait a while longer for full details on these completely new products, but right now we can announce a new "Signature Edition" of the flagship L-10000 OTL/OCL Line-Stage Preamplifier.
Allnic has redesigned the L-10000 OTL/OCL preamp’s entire circuit, including the power transformer, and refined its world’s first 61 step constant impedance attenuator - refinements now standard and to be applied to the constant impedance attenuators in all products using them going forward. Together, these upgrades have resulted in a new noise floor for the L-10000 OTL/OCL, reduced by more than 50% and providing even greater transparency, detail, dynamic response, and imaging. Also, in line with the announcement above, the price remains the same for the Signature Edition as for the already industry-leading earlier iteration.
Please read on to learn more about Allnic’s full product line - and stay tuned for more info about the new Allnic stars going into production this spring.
For the love of music!

INTRODUCING ALLNIC’S NEW, POWERFUL, REFINED
M-3000 MK3
KT170 MONOBLOCKS!
Redesigned for the incredible KT170 beam-tetrode power tube, Allnic’s new M-3000 MK3 monoblocks take vacuum tube power and finesse to new heights of excellence. Like the MK2, the MK3 is also a parallel push-pull design, but changing from the KT150 power tube to the KT170 nets more power and even more resolution and transparency. Whereas the MK2 netted 200 watts per amp in pentode mode and more than 90 “SET-like” watts in triode, the MK3 supplies 240 watts in pentode and more than 100 in triode. Of course, like all Allnic’s power amps, that output is also matched by exceptional driving force thanks to Allnic’s KS Park’s optimized circuit design and painstaking gain tube/transformer matching. Like the MK2, the MK3 can also be switched between pentode and triode modes by the press of a button on the front of the chassis - “on-the-fly”.
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. Various manufacturers also made the 6S4 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.
The first published review wins their coveted award! Please read about it here:
In addition to the above features, the new M-3000 MK3 monoblocks provide:
⦁ Analogue power tube current monitoring meters
⦁ Exceptionally easy bias controls
⦁ Soft start circuitry
⦁ Individual fuse protection for power tubes
⦁ Dual inputs, one RCA and one XLR
⦁ 4 and 8 ohm speaker terminals (8 and 16 by factory order)
As can be expected, the M-3000 MK3 monoblocks will pair especially well with any of Allnic’s line-stage preamplifiers, from the award winning “little giant” L-6500
to the tour de force, pure direct-heated triode L-8000 DHT.
The M-3000 MK3 monoblocks are a vacuum tube-based marvel of audio engineering. Their power, stability, and clarity are matched by their weight; at 36kg, almost 80lbs, per chassis, caution is advised when you are moving them around. Fortunately, the design also features handles – in the right places - to provide a great deal of ergonomic efficiency for moving them around safely.
The M-3000 MK3s will drive essentially any speaker on the market with outstanding results. If you need significant power and still want all the qualities, the beauty of life-like presentation of a world-class tube power amplifier, the M-3000 MK3s might be for you.

“Allnic Audio’s cables are not to be sniffed at. It’s rare to think of a brand that achieves success both in the field of amp AND cable design, but Kang Su Park’s brand is one of the rare exceptions. Naturally, the cables are an excellent match for Allnic Audio’s electronics, but they go far further than that!”

Whether you’re building your ideal two-channel audio system for the first time or thinking about making a change in a system that has already taken you years to build, Allnic Audio has a line of products that can help you attain your goals.
With over 30 years in the audio business, 30 years that include design and commercialization of several “world’s firsts”, South Korea-based Allnic Audio has a proven record of manufacturing truly world class, two-channel electronics and audio cables.
Allnic is first and foremost analog and vacuum tube equipment - using classic technologies that have been deeply examined, re-considered, and reinvented by the company’s founder, Kang Su Park.
KS Park has an encyclopaedic knowledge of vacuum tubes, vacuum tube circuits, transformers, and the history of the use of the vacuum tube in music reproduction. He has also proven himself to be an original thinker and an extremely capable and creative audio engineer.
KS Park, Front centre
Among the highlights of Mr. Park’s life-long passion for building audio equipment capable of the absolutely highest fidelity are, for example:
⦁ the successful commercialization of line-stage and phono-stage preamplifiers with ALL Direct-Heated Triodes in the signal path
⦁ the world’s first constant impedance attenuator
⦁ the world’s first audio cables using both high-temperature (1000 degrees C) welding of wire to terminations for the lowest resistance, and MU metal shielding for complete RFI and EMI rejection
KS Park is not sitting contentedly on his laurels, either.
Allnic has always manufactured its own permalloy output transformers and phono-cartridges completely in-house – in fact, KS Park makes every cartridge himself!
Allnic Amber and Rose
The star sisters of 2020, Amber and Rose, continue to sing with welcoming praise and interesting trades: Airtight Supreme, Lyra Titan, Dynavector XV1S, and Ikeda, to name a few. The price to greater than expected performance makes these twins a pleasant surprise. Simply stated, "the Amber just made everything better."
Now, Mr. Park has even guided the company to the first commercial production of its own brand of high-fidelity vacuum tubes. Ja Hwan Jung has further developed the RS242, 3A109, HL2, and three versions of the 300B. These tubes have proven to be powerful, dynamic, stable, and present absolute clarity! You may find these and many other tube types at www.straditube.com. Stradi Tube is independent and no longer has any affiliation with Allnic. This is an excellent resource for Allnic owners.
The knowledge, expertise, and creativity that produced such breakthroughs has resulted in a product line true to its strengths and a testament to the company’s dedication to innovation, excellence, and customer satisfaction.
Allnic’s current product line comprises equipment that is recognized world-wide as truly exceptional in sound quality, industrial design and build quality regardless of price-point and includes:
⦁ line-stage preamplifiers, both transformer-coupled, including the L-8000 DHT (Direct-heated Triode), and OTL/OCL (output transformer-less/output capacitor-less) models
⦁ phono-stage preamplifiers, including its H-8000 DHT flagship
⦁ Stereo and monoblock power amplifiers, including both push-pull and SET (including one DHT monoblock) models, some offering the customer a choice of power tubes
⦁ Integrated amplifiers, both push-pull and SET
⦁ Silver or copper-wound analog Step-Up Transformers
⦁ The Rose and Amber Moving Coil phono cartridges
⦁ The D-10000 OTL/OCL DAC with an OTL/OCL tube analog output stage - an industry first!
⦁ OTL/OCL Headphone amplifier
⦁ ZL Technology (Zero-Loss) copper, and copper and silver conductor audio cables
⦁ In-house designed and manufactured 300B, 3A, HL2 and RS242 vacuum tubes
It’s no surprise that over the years, Allnic products have garnered rave reviews and awards from professional reviewers and customers, and that its products are in demand all over the world.
