About to get Allnic H-8000 DHT

No no no, far from it! In an unexpected turn of events, I acquired this H5000 plus an extra set of Io Eclipse with dual power supply, no volume, in a package deal with a very attractive price! So, looks like I will have a lot of tube rolling to do ;)

I would suggest using RK 5u4g (you will get it easily in the used market), and WE274b if you get lucky on the second one, much more expensive.

5u4gb is okay to use with H-5000. There is a broad range of rectifiers. H-5000 was retired for H-8000.

From the 2025 Manual and applies also to your amplifier.

Power Supply:


• Two (2) x 5U4G – Rectifiers: equivalents - any 5V octal-base rectifier, indirectly or directly heated.

Allnicaudio56@gmail.com - direct to TH Park. You likely will be redirect to a regional representative.

PS - WE422A to consider. Stradi 5u4g

Why don't you collect Thrax mk2 as well while you are at it

I have sent the Io to my technician for checking immediately after I got it, so I haven’t even looked at the power supplies, maybe it has the new in-house transformers :)

It wont make a difference, the transformers are not the problem. ;)

H-5000 DHT - the power supply may be different depending on the manufacturing date (?During 2012?), noted on the side of the chassis of the H-5000. An older power supply can be modified at the owner's expense. Please reach out to allnicaudio56@gmail.com regarding your specific power supply AND if necessary, options to update.
