Allnic Audio L3000 MK2 Tube Preamp Upgrade

Allnic Audio L4000 / L3000 Line Stage Large Output Transformers Upgrade
ALLNIC L4000 line stage in black anodize Swedish aircraft grade aluminum chassis with the large output transformers upgrade
ALLNIC L4000 line stage was renamed L3000 – same unit – new L3000 retails for $11,900
ALLNIC L4000 = ALLNIC L3000
ALLNIC L4000 with large output transformers upgrade = ALLNIC L3000 MKII
Steve Dobbins of XACTAUDIO completed the output transformers update. Steve is the genius behind the Beat direct drive turntable and was a former ALLNIC dealer.
I called David Beetles owner of Hammertone Audio and the global distributor for ALLNIC Audio. David can confirm that the L4000 with the large output transformers upgrade is the same as a new L3000 MKII. David mentioned that interested buyers could reach out to him if they had any questions. Thanks David
The rear chassis deck has four transformers. These four trannys were all the same size. The center two are for the outputs. The center two trannys are now 30% larger than the outside trannys. This is the large output tranny upgrade and is the exact same as the MKII version.

Immerse yourself in the original recorded space. The L4000 / L3000 is a single gain stage, transformer coupled, remote controlled line stage preamplifier. It offers world class, holographic sound staging combined with incredible resolution, clarity, micro-dynamics, and drive. Instrument and vocal tone and timbre are lifelike; placement of instruments and bodies in three dimensions startling, life-size, and addictive. The L4000 / L3000 has no voice of its own. It is silent, except for the music emanating from the blackest of backgrounds. The outstanding sonic quality is matched by the simple elegance, flexibility and ergonomic functionality of the casework and connection options. When it was first introduced, the L4000 / L3000 set a new standard for absolute high end quality at a reasonable cost. Few preamplifiers can compete. The L4000 / L3000 is, simply, a revelation.
The L4000 / L3000 features:
• Single tube gain stage
• Transformer coupling
• Constant and low (150 OHM) output impedance at all frequencies
• all NOS tubes
• Easy to read tube monitor meters
• Zero negative feedback
• Precision oil clutched motorized attenuator, with zero channel imbalance at any volume
• Ultra high speed, automatic, vacuum tube voltage regulation
• Pure Class A operation
• Pure balanced operation
• Phase control switch
• 3 RCA and 2 XLR inputs
• 3 outputs: 1 RCA, 2 XLR (1 is record out)
• Remote control
Now with a newly designed output transformer, the L4000 / L3000 is even better than the original - and that is saying a lot indeed.
MKII has had significant upgrade to output transformers resulting in greater attack, weight and punch while maintaining the transparency, detail and mighty holography for what ALLNIC is known. The transformer upgrade is available to older L4000 and L3000’s.
The L4000 / L3000 uses the following tubes
Two E810F
Two 7233
Two 6485

For reference - The needle has moved to the left of the parallel lines on a meter, it means that one or both the E810F tubes for that channel is failing. If the needle on either meter moves to the right of the parallel lines, it means that one or the other of the voltage regulator tubes (7233 or 6485) for that channel is failing.
