As NOS supplies are becoming more limited worldwide, Allnic has been proactive in acquisition, working with modern tube manufacturers and changing current model designs to ensure no current or legacy model is destined for obsolescence. In 2025 production some models will feature different tubes and these tubes are NOT INTERCHANGEABLE with their predecessor. Please refer to your manual or this link for most updated manual writing: Allnic Manuals
In 2024, Allnic has worked with Emission Labs on an rs242 design that is now produced and available from EML dealers worldwide. This broad bottle, thick glass design is proven reliable, consistent and with favorable sonic signature, similar to the Stradi rs242 production.
Modern Western Electric 300B had issues with Allnic equipment UNTIL approximately Q3 2024 WE tube production. This issue has since been resolved and feedback is universally highly favorable with Allnic owners. While I have not heard or owned this generation WE 300B, I have not received any negative feedback regarding this tube.
Allnic A-5000 DHT SET mono at 10W featuring Stradi HL2, 300B and 5U4G - Aftermarket updates.
Stradi’s innovation in the last few years has been rapid succession and these are some of the best modern production tubes I have heard. They have been willing to manufacture necessary tubes for Allnic’s legacy equipment: HL2, rs242, 3A/109E, 5U4G and 300B.
The 5U4G is better than the OSRAM/MARCONI U52 - more crisp sound, but retain all the qualities I appreciate in U52. Across the board, these tubes are remarkable.
HL2 and 3A/109: Stradi makes the best version I have heard. The NOS DHT tube versions are prone to be microphonic. The Stradi versions are consistently stable, making the H-8000 DHT, A-5000 DHT and L-8000 DHT models user friendly. These remain my favorite circuits but an occasional tube failure never annoys me. These modern tubes mentioned above from EML, WE and Stradi are far more reliable and sound superior (by direct audition and indirect feedback) than others out there.
Note: Stradi is factory direct purchase only. Kevalin Audio and Allnic have no financial affiliation. Kevalin Audio does not sell Stradi/EML/WE tubes. WWW.StradiTube.com.
