Allnic Audio H-3000 Phono Stage

Marc Mickelson has posted a review of the Allnic Audio H-3000 phono stage ($10,900) at The Audio Beat. His conclusions:

Audiophiles and members of the audio press alike can become easily smitten with novel solutions to supposed issues of sonic reproduction, believing that pure reason always leads to better musical reproduction. Products like the Allnic H-3000 certainly rely on technology developed through solid engineering, but I would argue that what makes it a significant piece hardware for reproducing music is the singular artfulness that its designer brings to it. The H-3000's LCR network has technical advantages, but its pairing with Kang Su Park's circuit design, custom transformers, and tube dampers makes it consequential. The H-3000's performance bears this out, presenting music with rich tonality, lavish dynamic realism and unequalled spatial spread and specificity. This is a powerful combination, and it underscores much of what continues to make the vinyl LP an enduring playback medium.
