FEBRUARY 2014

All L5000 and L3000’s now upgraded to Mk2’s. L3000 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. Contact HAMMERTONE AUDIO for pricing and scheduling

L5000 MKII was born by recent contracting KRON AUDIO of the replacement 80 year old gain tube 3A109B. Original L5000’s employed 3A109 and 3A110 tubes in the gain stages. The 3A110 was used due to scarcity of the 3A109. The Mk2 version L5000 will come in 2 modes, one at regular price with use of 4 3A109B tubes and at greater cost, using 4 of the new KRON KR3A tubes. Benefits include a more modern sound, increased dynamics and reduced Microphony, the scourge of DHT circuits. Confused yet? What we are doing, is making available the new KR3A tube for pre-exisitng L5000’s . For clarification, please call David at 250.862.9037.

Under trials, a 14 gram Aluminum bodied version of PURITAS with a newly molded American rubber suspension. Cartridge is being tested with DYNAVECTOR, REED, KUZMA, SME, FUCH, FR66, AUDIOCRAFT and other arms. The additional weight with PURITAS’S low compliance makes for a much better match with more of the medium mass tone arms available today. Early comments “staggering, tracks like a champion, huge lifelike dynamic swings, beautifully balanced with a top end to die for and an increased volume of power to what was already a great bass” Will report more later. PURITAS owners are entitled to a very fair trade up to this marvelous cartridge.

If you own H1200 and missed our previous offer, HAMMERTONE AUDIO has a free tube replacement for this machine, a picture verifying ownership sent to us with address is all that’s needed.

H1201, our recently offered phone stage employing NOS Mullard tubes and the fabulous Step Up Transformers shared with H1500, H3000 and H5000 continues to gather excellent reviews and sales. David McCallum wrote a well penned ALLNIC review. Please investigate under reviews on this site under H1201 –SOUND OF MUSIC.
