H-8000 DHT Phono Stage Details

In 2018 Allnic upgraded the flagship H5000 DHT to the new H8000. This unit sports a host of improved internals over the older model.

‘Introducing perhaps world’s finest Direct Heated Triode Phono Stage, the ‘impossible to build’ ALLNIC H8000. Built to complement our DHT line stages and A10000 DHT amplifiers.’

The H8000 DHT is Kang Su’s reference phono stage and possibly the finest phono preamp the world has ever seen. This new two chassis preamp represents the very frontiers of Kang Su’s prodigious abilities. I personally have never heard coherency or a sense of aliveness from vinyl like this under any circumstance. The Direct Heated Triode sound has a unique way with space and sound pressursation that is difficult to even put into words. If you are serious about Vinyl then I can only implore you to hear this magnificant piece for yourself. The H8000 does some truly remarkable things.

Key Features

  • The H-8000 DHT Phono-stage is transformer coupled, with the exception of the first gain stage, the HL2K tube.
  • No negative feedback design with three gain stages
  • A power supply unit separate from the pure DHT phono-stage itself
  • High quality MC Step-up Transformers with Permalloy cores are used for the H-8000 DHT’s dual MC inputs.
  • New vacuum tube damping technology – Allnic Audio’s patented “Absorb GEL tube damper” technology prevents harmful vibrations from reaching the signal / gain tubes and, therefore, prevents micro-phonic noise propagation in the tubes. The Allnic Audio Absorb Gel damper technology effectively solves a problem that plagues most tube amplification systems. Provided other tube components do not introduce micro-phonic noise into your system, with the Absorb Gel damping system, you will enjoy a degree of transparent sound that will surprise and please you.
  • Pure Class A operation
  • Pure balanced operation
