Recent months have been special. Finally getting some hours on what might be the most truthful phono stage ever produced. The H5000 project was daunting for KS Park but with his vast technological abilities, he was able to tame the Direct Heated Triodes greatest enemy, micro-phony. KS Park many years ago devised and patented a tube socket that decouples micro-phony from the tube and chassis. it is only with this device that the DHT Phono stage dream could be realized. This year we entered a relationship with KR Audio (Kron) of Czech Republic to produce a few key DHT Gain tubes for the circuitry building tubes to replace the Telefunken RS242 used in H5000 and the STC 3A109 used in L5000. Tests and employment of these tubes is encouraging. An H5000 is being delivered in next few days with review to follow by www.theaudiobeat.com Roy Gregory.

The H5000 DHT PHono Stage is a legacy product. Owners comments have been nothing less than remarkable. Here is an exerpt from Richard Morris, UK.

“Gave it some good listening yesterday and it sounds fabulous. For me I

guess the biggest thing in a system setup that I don’t know too well, is

the timing and coherency/composure which has gone to an unprecedented

level. This allows you to hear musical intent and arrangement that was

previously obscured because of being muddled or unreadable in some way.

The space is off the scale too, the music

is everywhere, sometimes completely behind you. It sounds infinite.”

Comments of a friend visiting KS Park in Korea hearing his speakers for the first time.

“The man is a genius. Imaging is staggeringly good with little to no box coloration. Bass is tight and fast with no bloom or boom. Goes low too but will lose out in the so called subsonic frequency range. No shortage certainly but you can’t quite feel it hit you in the chest. The mid-range is fluid and sweet with not even a hint of the dreaded shout or shrillness that one usually associates with full range horns. But this was done without losing any of the sweetness that these type of drivers are famous for.”

This coming month, we are deliverying the above describes ALLNIC S-9000 SE speaker system to Stereophile’s Art Dudley for his valued opine. KS Park is busy designing, for the speakers, a collapsible shipping carton for those investors short of storage.
