Allnic Audio H-5500 Phono Stage — Audiophilia 08/10/2021

From Audiophilia, Karl Sigman's review of the Allnic H-5500

Allnic Audio H-5500 Phono Stage — Audiophilia Allnic Audio with their ‘Tube Amp Done Right’ slogan has been on a roll in the last several years with a slew of well received amps, preamps, phono stages, and even phono cartridges.

You may recall that we mentioned we do trades!

So this guy, who said he considered the L-7000 as the last preamp for him as it blew away most others (such as ARC, Pass Labs, CAT, Cary, VAC) that he's had in his system looking for audio nirvana.

Then he tried the L-10000 and, right out of the box, it killed the L-7000.
(He's using the Allnic H-5000 to receive signal from his pair of turntables.)

So - you see - trades can open a whole new world of goodness.

Got something you want trade? Give us a go!

We have a little project in the works.
Do you like 'loudspeakers'?

OK then - check this out.

Being built for us by Frank Fazzalari at Coherent Audio (https://www.coherentspeakers.net/ ) with a bit of help from Troy Joseph Crowe (https://josephcrowe.com/)

Featuring JBL 375 mids (111dB sensitivity), JBL 077 slot tweeters and 18' Radian woofer (106dB sensitivity) into custom cabinets and pure walnut A290 Yuichi horn (Troy did the interface between the 375 and the Yuichi)

These should be finished before the end of September and will make their debut at our Allnic dealer pal's shop (Corbysaudio.com)

We're going to run them with a whole two watts per side. We can just hardly wait. Until then - here's some pictures!

The NEW Allnic H-5500 phono stage has found itself some new homes!

Key features:

The H-5500 uses the same NOS tube set as its predecessor, the H-1202, but in a more feature and value packed chassis. The H-5500 sports:

• Two pairs each of MM and MC inputs.
• A power supply capacity double that of the H-1202 for more drive, better bass and better balance across the full frequency range.
• A current meter for monitoring tube status.
• Larger, heavier and more solid aluminum casework that is more resistant to vibration.

The H-5500 can be ordered in black or silver
