Great info Jay.
Dude, you are absolutely killing it with this Korea series, seriously. I live next door in Japan and I had no idea there were so many passionate companies like this in Korea. Kudos to you for showing us their products, their stories, and also for letting them speak. There's nothing worse than an overbearing interviewer, and you are most certainly not that. Can't wait for the next one!
I've owned an Allnic product for many years. It was a preamp. I decided to up my audio game in the last year and a half. I wanted a quality integrated. It came down to a Luxman 590 or the Allnic T2000 30th anniversary. The Allnic won then won my heart. At the same time, I purchased the Allnic H5500 phonostage. Allnic phonostages have always been well regarded so that was a no brainer. Then Kevalin Audio sent me an Allnic D10000 DAC to review. That became a real problem. I own the Holo May KTE, but the Allnic D-10000 showed me what was possible, how a DAC doesn't sound much like digital, just the sound of music flowing in a beautiful manner. It was my wife who said it sounded beautiful. My wife would never consider a DAC at this price - never. So we bought it. My review is posted on a few forums. I told you Jay, to visit the Allnic studio!
It is great to see this level of audio passion resulting in products that raise the bar. Truly a cottage industry driven by passion.
I am blown away by his intensity. Thanks for sharing Jay.
I usually laugh when I see the word "BEST" in a title, but man you are correct, this looks like the BEST made tube amp in the world..!!! They do it right !!! WOW
I’ve had the pleasure of conversing with Mr Park. He is a true gentleman and a passionate audiophile/designer. I wish there are more like him in high end.
Really impressive and enjoyable. Wonder if these products are available in Australia. This level of passion in the audio industry is amazing and sorely needed. Thanks Jay. You pride in the Korean products are evident 😎👍
Allnic products are available in Australia through Audio Heaven in Melbourne
I’m loving the Korea-series videos! Keep up the great work! I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos, Jay.
U should try visit north korea
It's fun this time of the year
Thanks for sharing, Jay. Listening to the man speak Korean helps me understand why my Korean friends have such a hard time understanding me when I speak. This is the second time I have heard about nickel transformer cores; the first was Schiit Audio.
I love these videos, and the different approach from the passionate people behind these great products. It's like travelling without the cost... thanks Jay!
Well done getting KS on video! The passion is fantastic. I've owned three Allnic products. They are heirloom quality.
This is probably one of those rare occasions where the claim of, being the best, in the title is not an exaggeration or a click bait.
Let's hope it's not a click bait. We will know in a few months whether another 'best tube amp. video will come out!
Very good review! Especially the interview was very interesting and well made. A joy to watch!
Ive got an Allnic phono pre and line stage pre. Still hoping to get a power amp when the money comes around. Glad to see Allnic getting some love.
Wow! What a video. Thank you so much for your work Jay and sharing this man's passion.
I own their 3000gt headphone amp and my system is outfitted with all their ZL cables as well. They make quality stuff! Thanks for sharing it was cool to see this
Saw an allnic tube phono in the wild today. I couldn’t afford to buy it but looked and sounded fantastic
Well done. My association with Allnic goes back quite a while - through the original Global distributor (now retired) and currently with the Canadian, US and UK distributors. I have no financial interest, just a fan!
Jay! Very cool stuff:)
Pretty much aspirational components for sure.
Excellent interview
What a great personality to interview.
I think I'm in love Jay!! these tube amps are so beautiful... will have to buy one
A very interesting video Jay. Thank you very much. Hopefully you will do a review of one of their products if you haven't already.
One of the best systems I've ever heard was at AXPONA in 2018. It was Magnepan speakers powered by Allnic amps. It sounded like a live three-piece band was in the room from the hallway, so I had to stop in and have a proper listen. Still amazed by how good it was to this day.
Very nice to see the coverage. I love my T2000 Anniversary Integrated Amp and H6500 Phonostage. John at Kevalin was good to deal with as well.
That Amp really slams! I have some Coherent Speakers on the way with 18's to really give it a workout.
lol was waiting on an allnic video , love there build most confidence inspriend around not to mention the sound had the big integrated t2000 and looking at the 50w 300b quad set next
Great content. This guy walks the walk. Very cool and interesting.
I think you should go back to Korea cover more brands. Then go to Germany, Netherland, Belgium, UK, Italy, France… you are not coming back to Canada…. covering all brands Haha😂
Love the interview. These are really meaningful to brands who don’t speak English well.
Well done!!
Allnic about to experience a big increase in sales after this video.
Hopefully they do, they make some really cool stuff!
@@Jayiyagi But for me, their website is now down ...
Great video!
I just got H1202 Phono. Love Allnic products. Gomapsumnida!
Loved this, Jay. I have an Allnic T1500 300b amp with wonderful KR tubes and I love it. 12.5 watts per channel of perfection. It was great to see Mr Park talking about his design philosophy. I know at one point there were only 7 employees and most of them were members of Mr Parks family. Do you know if this is still the case ?
Would you consider using Western Electric 300 B tubes a significant upgrade and if so, what impact do you foresee in the sound quality and control of a speaker?
great Video!!! I have an Allnic HPA 5000 xl for my headphone system. this amp rules all other amp at twice the price and twice the wait. I even compared it against the Riviera AIC10!!! at more than half the price the Allnic goes head to head.
what hps are you using with it?
EXCELLENT!
Mr. Park rocks!
Wow. Color me impressed.
The Best!
Incredible interview. Thank you for sharing this mans experience, wisdom, passion and humanity with us. Are you aware of a distributor in the US that carries Allnic. I may have heard of them from your channel in the past. How do you think Allnic and Audiovector speakers would play together?
Wow. Very interesting report. Thank you. As you know the Buchardt S400 MKII very Good ( I guess ) ….do you think a Tube Amp would fit to them? If yes, do you have any suggestions? Or would your fav integrated Amp of 2022 - Vincent SV 237 MKII - be a better choice?
So good, a man I would love to meet.
Hey Jay, ask Allnic why they can’t put the phono stage’s loading selector on the front panel?
Lol. Classic title.. ;-) Is John Ketcham still importing these Jay ? His older bro was my buddy growing up. My cable brand showed with Allnic ten years ago.. NAT still my preference, but Tubes slowly becoming not so important to me as I sess out higher levels of SS. Plus I've got my own Korean brand to introduce shortly ;-)
Their website doesn't appear to be in service...
Can you ask them why they add feedback to their 300b integrated T500 Mk II?
I am really curious about that Allnic two way speaker. Have you heard them Jay? What was you impression?
You broke their web server! Was getting "forbidden" returns, until I used a VPN, but even then I could access only a few pages.
The whole part of tube amps IS added distortion. If you want no audible distortion just get a decent designed SS amp.
So, Jay has Thomas asked you to try his Galion ES Tube Amp l?
And since you are in Korea check Waversa and SotM
Their website link is not working. Not a good start!
Al little too pricy but very well regarded in the hobby, if they launch a smaller format phono stage their selling rate will increase I think in the mid to hi fi world .
Wonderful talk! Wouldn't it be amazing if the "tube sound" that we love is BECAUSE of tube microphonics? !!!
I doubt it. Microphonics are unpleasant ringing sounds that is caused by mechanical and if you are playing really loud with subs on, arguable air-borne vibrations. I heard a really poorly designed tube amplifier once and it had serious microphonic issues. I didn't know it was an issue until then. In the modern day world, it isn't a huge issue in many designs but paying close attention to each and every issue like Allnic certainly helps have an additive benefit in my opinion
@@Jayiyagi I was thinking of more subtle "microphonics," perhaps like a parallel to cabinet resonances in speakers.
I hear what you are saying but it’s just not a thing you want in my opinion.
Cabinet resonance is due to flexing of wood materials that the speakers are made of.
Now imagine glass resonance… that’s not something that’s gonna be pleasant to majority of the people. Imagine screeching on your window with a sharp nail and that’s about equivalent to micro vibrations or microphonics in tubes.
@@Jayiyagi Perhaps the elements inside of the tubes have resonances... not the glass envelope? I agree you don't want screechy glass! Haha.
@@AdrianIII I wonder, Adrian, if you are thinking of the second order harmonic distortion which is a big component of the typical tube sound and quite pleasant to the ear. As Jay says microphonics are just generally a bad thing.
Jay, I saw you briefly on the first day of FLAX. Were you able to get anything worth sharing?
Got a question Jay...what type of speakers are those in the back???I mean the ones that are really tall.
What's this music at the end of the video? :)
The best tube amp? I suggest a review between Allnic, Kondo, Audio note uk and Airtight 😊
best is of course subjective. It is a sensationalized title based on what Allnic believes - which they certainly believe they are building the best and chief designer explains why in this video
@@Jayiyagi yeah the designer is certainly doing his best but still would an awesome review with the Kondo etc. 😅
waversa should be the next.
What the cost for the intergrated amplifier?
Great work once again. Thanks for bringing us along. I don't think your Allnic link is correct.
best? been reading audiophile mags since the 80s never heard of them. you're saying they dsiplace the best from vac, vtl, lamm etc?
Well, I think he just uses the term, “best”, to great products in general. All the brands you mentioned are great ones.
best is of course subjective. It is a sensationalized title based on what Allnic believes - which they certainly believe they are building the best and chief designer explains why in this video
Damn, I want those valve sockets. Can those be purchased?
I don't believe so. They made those parts to build their products. Which is honesty commendable
@@Jayiyagi I just purchased some Monarchy Audio SE-100 Deluxe Mark 2 Monoblocks while my tube amp is being serviced, again. I love my tube amp but I'm having a serious affair with SS Class A
Mmmm
AudioNote
Kongatsu
Cary
Luxman
Decware
Lots of competition
Best is a personal choice
I believe I've seen a couple of passive pre-amps from UK-based companies using a similar volume attenuator, can't remember product names though, so can't attest to the legitimacy of my comments...
Everything is subjective.
Jay. I have respect for what you do, but I need to take one thing out of my chest. I hope you witll take it as a constructive criticism. I hate it when you come out with heavy statements like "Best amplifier in the world"! It might catch attention as a UA-cam video title, and please a company, but it cheapens your work in my opinion. Please learn how to put things into perspective if you want to grow up as a reviewer! How can we trust you in the long run otherwise? Especially when chances are that you are going to say the same thing for another company in two months from now!! Watching your past videos becomes a real joke in that context. It cheapens your hard work. I'm 100% sure it is not your intention. Anyways, to me, there's no such things as the "best in the world" component. It sounds very pretentious and at your young age, if you pretend having heard every amplifiers in the world to make such a heavy statement, we have a real problem!
best is of course subjective. It is a sensationalized title based on what Allnic believes - which they certainly believe they are building the best and chief designer explains why in this video
Best tube amp in the world, so what yuor saying is you have heard every tube amps in the world to come to this conclusion?
best is of course subjective. It is a sensationalized title based on what Allnic believes - which they certainly believe they are building the best and chief designer explains why in this video
I would not recommend touching a tube that has been running for any length of time, as they run very hot and the possibility of burn is real.
no tubes were touched while running hot in this video.
How come none of these guys speak English in 2023? It’s the universal language
Haven’t you heard? Korea Wave is the thing in 2024, you don’t speak Korean yet? 😂
All due respect, I wish you’d go back to telling us how equipment sounds instead of these interviews. Thanks.
I thought thomas makes the best lol
9 thousand for a tube amp.. uumm.. Luxman levels.. audio note both are less.
what 9k solid state amp is worth its puny parts list its no different here
I detected some snake oil..
Good video otherwise
