Like the Flagship "Signature" L-10,000 OTL/OCL Linestage Preamplifier, HPA-5000 XL is undergoing complete revisions. An entirely new amplifier from circuit/tube composition and chassis design will carry this name. Allnic has a handful of original chassis that need to be built, and KA has one silver chassis unit new in the box. This is a great opportunity. Just type HPA-5000XL in the promo code box on checkout!
Description:
The HPA- 5000 XL is Allnic Audio’s Output Transformer-Less (OTL) and Output Capacitor Less (OCL) stereo headphone amplifier that won HiFi+ 2022 Best Product of the Year! And can be reviewed here: HiFI+
The HPA- 5000 XL utilizes a true balanced Positive-Negative cancellation circuit. The HPA- 5000 XL has a voltage gain of +28dB, and a maximum output of 5 watts. Offering stunningly realistic music reproduction, it works best with headphones having an impedance of from 30 to 600 ohms.
Key Features
The HPA- 5000 XL has the following features:
- Works best with headphones having an impedance of from 30 to 600 ohms
- High-quality, NOS tubes
- True OTL/OCL design
- Pure Class A operation
- Precision 41-step single silver contact attenuator volume control. The HPA-5000 XL does not employ a digital IC volume control or a low-cost carbon film volume control. The HPA-5000 XL has no (± 0db) channel unbalance at any volume level.
- New vacuum tube damping technology – Allnic Audio’s patented “Absorb GEL tube damper” technology prevents harmful vibrations from reaching the driver 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.
- As are all Allnic Audio products, the HPA-5000 XL is fully RoHS (EU Reduction of Hazardous Substances regulation) compliant in construction and material.
