In 1916, Western Electric engineer G.W. Elmen, seeking a material that could be magnetized more easily, developed alloys of iron and nickel that came to be called permalloy. Later, permalloy became important for music reproducing systems. The recently introduced and now famous ‘amorphous cores’ are also based on nickel.
The name Allnic is derived from All Nickel core transformers, and all Allnic’s signal transformers are made with nickel alloy cores such as PC or PB permalloy.
Allnic believes that as a coupling device for amplifying stages, transformers are much better than capacitors. Permalloy transformers are well worth their high cost and difficulty of manufacture, because they transfer over 90% of signal and retain dynamics and fidelity, compared with capacitors and their less than 5% transfer efficiency.
Also, transformer output pre-amplifiers are much safer than capacitor output preamplifiers when coupled with solid state amplifiers, even safer than direct coupled solid stage preamplifiers, because transformers block any surging voltages to the next stage, surges that can severely damage power amplifiers.
History of Allnic Audio
Allnic Audio Labs, founded in 1990 by Mr. K.S. Park, is based in South Korea. Previously, Mr. Park co-founded Silvaweld, a company renowned in its time for transformer-coupled and single-ended-triode tube designs.
After great success as head designer at Silvaweld, Kang Su Park went solo to pursue his masterplan. Allnic Audio Labs was formed with the intention of matching and, indeed, exceeding the heights achieved by any tube amp companies.
Mr. Park has not failed in his goals. We believe he has created some of the world’s finest valve equipment. His designs are truly unique, employing highly unusual tubes and design techniques which are simply too difficult or costly for others to even consider.
Working with direct heated triodes, hand wound nickel alloy transformers, LCR RIAA equalisation, output transformer-less and output capacitor-less circuitry, Kang Su is one of the industry’s master innovators.
Legacy pieces like the astonishingly capable H-1201 and the ‘impossible to build’ H-5000 – tiny moving coil voltages married with normally noise ridden DHT tubes – will go down as landmarks in the Hifi halls of fame.
The Allnic sound elicits all the superlatives that can be levelled at the very best vacuum tube designs but with an extra dynamism and sense of life which is rare at any price. Spookily natural and ‘at ease’, Allnic equipment removes itself from the mind’s eye and allows a deep and unhindered connection to the music.

Portfolio
H-1202
Phono Stage
The H-1202 is the upgraded model of the highly regarded phono stage H-1201. Like all Allnic Audio products, it uses Permalloy (iron and nickel alloy) for its transformer cores. CR type RIAA equalization of the H-1202 is precisely compensated within +/- 3dB. The H-1202 uses two high-quality NOS E180cc twin triode tubes per one channel for gain stage. And it also has an automatic, all tube voltage regulation circuit, ensuring exceptionally stable and quiet operation.
On the top of each channel’s MC transformer on the centre rear of the chassis deck of the H-1202, there is a rotating control. Turn the control knob to select from four gain factors: +22dB, +26dB, +28dB and +32dB. Combined with the H1202’s 40dB native gain, for MC there is 62dB, 66dB, 68dB and 72dB of gain available. Each of the second set of indicators on the top of the transformers only marks the impedance tied to the gain setting diagonal to it. The impedance and gain relationships are not user adjustable.
The H-1202 has the following features:
- High-quality NOS E180CC twin triode tubes for gain stage
- High-quality NOS 7233 and 5654 tube for voltage regulation
- CR type RIAA equalization, precisely compensated within +/- 3dB.
- High-quality Moving Coil Step-up Transformers with Permalloy cores
- MC transformers variable gain (+22dB, +26dB, +28dB and +32dB)
- No negative feedback design

H-7000V
Tri-input Phono Stage
- The up-grade model of legendary H-3000V, all transformer coupled LCR phono stage.
- World premier Three Inputs mode, this is a long wish of vinyl lovers, having tri inputs in one machine, head-amplifier(pre-pre or electronic step-up) input, traditional step-up transformer input and MM direct input(you can connect your favorite step-ups also).
- LCR Equalization. On the contrary to the traditional CR or NFB equalization of high impedance (hundred kilo ohms), LCR uses 600 ohms’ constant impedance, a big difference on frequency range and energetic operation.
- LCR Multi-curve Equalization. This is also world-premier, Allnic’s Multi-curve LCR unit has 4 turn-over(250Hz, 400Hz, 500Hz RIAA and 700Hz) and 4 Roll-off(-16dB, -13.7dB RIAA, -11dB and -5dB), this means you can enjoy playing any LP before RIAA standardization.
- The H-7000V phono stage is all transformer coupled, no coupling capacitors.
- Non negative feedback design with only two active gain stages.
- For superior signal to noise ratio, the H-7000V is equipped with pure vacuum tube, high speed, automatic voltage regulation circuit for both channels and a power supply unit separate from the phono stage itself.
- High quality wide frequency in-house MC step-up transformers are used for the H-7000V’s MC2 input.
- Pure balanced operation
- Pure class A operation
- For main amplification, Allnic uses 4 pentode E810F tubes as in triode mode(please see its wonderful three factors, μ= 57, gm = 50,000 micro mho, and lowest resistance around 1 K ohms). This tremendously beautiful tube drives so well our 100%permalloy PC big output transformer at 20mA high current.
- The incorporated head-amplifier operates in so high S/N ratio, you can enjoy the darkest background during your vinyl playing.
H-8000 DHT
H-8000 DHT Phonostage
In the early years of the last century, the directly heated triode (DHT) was invented independently, and almost simultaneously, in the USA and Austria. This simple device, an anode, a cathode and a grid in a vacuum contained in a glass bottle, transformed the world. Over one hundred years later, the very first triode remains a favourite audio amplification device for devoted music lovers worldwide.
Debate about the quality of the DHT’s sound reproduction potential continues even today. One of the interesting aspects of these debates is the degree to which they ignore analysis of common, fundamental assumptions about DHTs. Those assumptions are based on many decades of circuit and mechanical experimentation and compromise. Indeed, because of the difficulty of using DHTs for audio, many circuit design issues have evolved into assumptions about the audio characteristics of DHTs themselves.
Allnic’s Mr. Kang Su Park has spent a lifetime studying and designing circuits and transformers for use of DHTs in audio reproduction. Mr. Park has questioned basic assumptions about DHTs, re-examined variations of DHT circuit designs, and researched and experimented rigorously. His work has resulted in some remarkable audio power amplification devices. For example, Allnic’s 300B amplifiers produce significantly more power than normally expected. They do this without shortening tube life because the power increase is not achieved by increased bias. In conjunction with an increase in power, Mr. Park’s 300B amplifiers also have exceptionally low distortion and wide bandwidth.
Mr. Park successfully combined elements of what he learned and invented over decades to the development and production of a pure, direct heated triode (DHT) based amplifier and preamplifier: the A-5000 and L-5000, respectively. The main breakthrough was the design of a circuit, valve and transformer combination with astounding measured results. The purity of its square wave reproduction – as perfect as anything he had ever seen from a DHT valve amplification circuit – had him questioning what he was seeing! Of course, he replicated these tests many times and recorded them and their results before assuring himself that there was no mistake.
With such an unprecedented superior outcome for the circuit design, Mr. Park could not be satisfied placing a DHT stage after one or two stages using indirectly heated triodes. That approach is used in a number of commercially available preamplifiers using DHTs, but it is a compromise. It does not result in PURE DHT amplification. It introduces the characteristics of indirectly heated triode sound into the circuit. The output DHTs are only amplifying a signal already determined by the initial stage indirectly heated triodes. In contrast, Mr. Park created an amplifier and a preamplifier that use DHTs at each amplification stage. In his design, the output stage DHTs do not merely amplify the signal from indirectly heated triode stages. The A-5000 and L-5000 DHT amplifier and preamplifier are pure DHT, from signal input to output.

HA-5000
HA-5000 Head Amplifier
The HA-5000 is Allnic Audio’s pre-preamplifier, or “Head Amplifier”. It is an active, tube based device for amplification of low voltage signals from moving coil cartridges to allow connection of moving coil cartridges to the moving magnet inputs of a phono-stage, such as the Allnic H-3000 or H-1500. The HA-5000 is an active pre-preamplifier, not a “step-up transformer” like Allnic’s AUT-2000, which uses only a transformer to boost the signal from the cartridge.
HA-5000 has two selectable MC inputs(up-graded from only one MC input of HA-3000, many customers have asked to make two MC inputs system). Due to very dangerous “popping” noise when select one MC input to another, no manufacturers(including solid-state) dare to try, which could be amplified thousands times to destroy power amps or loud speakers. Allnic’s ingenious circuit makes it possible to have two MC input without any danger of switching noise.
The HA-5000 has the following features.
Innovative Fixed Bias Circuit. In the HA-5000, two nuvistor 7895 tubes, the smallest vacuum tube, perform as amplifying devices. They magnify the tiniest signal in audio, the output voltage of MC cartridges, to match to the MM input of phono stages. Allnic applies its innovative, fixed bias circuit to achieve quiet and stable operation of the extremely sensitive 7895 tubes. The fixed bias circuit eliminates the subsonics so harmful to phono stagesand inherent in the characteristics of the R.I.A.A curve, which requires amplification of the lower frequencies. The fixed bias circuit applies a sustained negative DC voltage to the grid of the tubes and to the input coupling capacitors, blocking capacitor “crossover distortion”. This distortion is a common phenomenon but, unfortunately, is often neglected in pre-preamplifiers. The result of no “zero crossover distortion” is, simply, clearer and more vivid reproduction of the music.
Very High S/N Ratio. The above mentioned characteristics of the R.I.A.A curve demand a hum-free pre-preamplifier and, therefore, a silent power supply circuit. Even one micro volt(1/1,000,000 of one volt) of hum noise (120Hz hum) in the output signal of a pre-preamplifier will result 63mV to the loud speakers. That is unacceptable, and Allnic has overcome the issue through its automatic pure vacuum tube voltage regulation circuitry. This voltage regulation circuit minimizes power supply hum noise to inaudibility.
Extremely Wide Frequency Range. Though the HA-5000 has a single gain stage and no negative feedback, its frequency range capability extends from 15Hz to 125Khz(-3dB), revealing the full richness of the musical information on vinyl.
Ultra Flexibility. The capability to follow an unpredictable musical signal with ease is strongly believed to be the heart of musicality for audio equipment. This ability can be indicated by square wave response at high frequencies, especially at 10Kh and the even more rarely achieved 20Khz. Exceeding these expectations, Allnic’s HA-5000 shows a response shape that is, even at 100Khz, in a word, beautiful.
Micro-Phonic Free Tube Damping Know-how. Allnic’s Absorb-Gel® tube damping know-how culminates in the HA-5000. In the HA-5000, an extreme version of this mechanical technology applied, reducing vibration induced noise in the sensitive tube amplification circuit to a level never before realized.
Variable Input Load Impedances. The HA-5000 has four input load impedances: 50, 100, 200, and 500 ohms, selectable from a control on the front panel. This allows loading according to the output impedances of your MC cartridges. Furthermore, these loads are purely resistive, not the compound one of a step-up transformer, resulting in a pure and clean sound.
