Here is the latest version of the RS242.
Kang Su Park's foresight and need to support his products has led him to take initiative to manufacture tubes in-house! This is EXCELLENT NEWS for H-8000, H-5000 and A-5000 DHT owners!
Here is the simplest and most cost-effective to nurture your music!
The proprietary coating of the HL2 makes these tubes resistant to RF/EM pollution. These tubes effectively removed the noise floor and through this previously unachieved clarity reveal new discoveries of all aspects of familiar recordings. The scarcity of some treasured, rare NOS tubes has motivated Allnic to pursue new and exceptional means to support their flagship designs. We cannot find any NOS Telefunken RS242 or Marconi HL2 gain tubes at reasonable prices and recently have been relying on boutique tube manufacturers to produce these. So, Allnic’s KS Park spent an arduous but ultimately successful two years working to reproduce and manufacture the fabled Telefunken RS242 and Marconi HL2. These two tubes, KS claims, are some of the most difficult to reproduce, and now KS is pleased to say that the final versions of the tubes are very high quality – quiet, stable and glorious sounding and stock in all new production of the products using them. Old is new again! Allnic will be manufacturing other tubes in the future, such as the 3A for the L-8000 DHT.
These tubes by themselves are sold factory-direct – an advantage to the user for pricing - and all warranty issues and inquiries are handled by Allnic in Korea. You can contact TH Park at Allnic directly through email at
allnicaudio56@gmail.com. PayPal is the payment method. This direct sales system allows for an easy payment method, fast direct shipping, and factory pricing!
For now, Allnic manufactured tubes are
sold only to Allnic owners. The Park family desires direct sales to catalog the serial numbers for quality measures. Dealers like myself carry a limited supply for warranty support only.
Again, as I’ve also mentioned before, there is news about
Allnic’s MC step-up transformers for the
AUT-2000, the
H-7000 and H-7000V, and the
H-8000 DHT– all these models are now available with
silver wire wound MC SUTs! Please note that the silver wire SUTs are optional on new production H-7000/7000Vs for an additional $2500, and standard on current production H-8000 DHT. In addition, upgrade packages of the new silver wound SUTs are now available for installation in current units – at customer’s cost by a qualified technician of customer’s choice - for $2500. I do recommend this upgrade overall because I could not discern any trade-off by swapping transformers.
