Announcing the new Allnic HPA-300B Headphone and Integrated Amplifier

[ketcham]

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.​

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 rare.

The 300B has a warm presentation and great bass extension. Like the DHT models, it excels at delicacy and decay, bringing emotion to the recording. The OTL is detail-oriented with an overall neutral presentation.

Please read the attached newly published manual for specifications.

MRSP $16,000 USD, with minor variance depending on the region of the world.

Update: After the above posting. Allnic Audio has set the MRSP at $12,000 USD for both the HPA-10,000 otl/ocl and HPA-300B while maintaining the same design and build quality.

Looks fantastic! Can you share the MSRP of the other Allnic headphone amps currently offered?

Allnic will be releasing a value model featuring 2a3 replacing the HPA-5000xl. It will also feature the 61-step constant impedance attenuator for USA customers. Pricing is yet to be determined.

The HPA-5000xl may have special pricing at this time. Talk to your regional dealer. MRSP: $8250.
