Has been a hectic year introducing several important pieces. We have unleashed the mighty H5000 DHT phono, the A10000 DHT 100 WPC amplifiers, the HPA 3000 Head Phone Amplifier and the fervently desired D5000 DHT DAC.

The new D5000 DHT DAC is currently being delivered to the first 12 buyers in North America, Singapore, Australia and Belgium. The reaction has been unanimous,

Gerry Simon summed it perfectly:

“HO-LEEEEEE F**K !!!!

Albert Porter says with no more than a cursory setup:

“David The DAC is excellent, second best I have heard in my system (ever). The best one was Stahl~Tek (a division of Purist Audio) and cost $73,000.00. Precisely why I did not buy it was the money. The D5000 sounded amazing”

Yan from Singapore stated:

“Out of the box it sounded average but in the next few hours the level of performance challenged my 7 times more costly analog setup, not quite as good as my H5000 Phono (nothing else is, he adds) but seriously satisfying I was not drawn into listening to the equipment but the music itself. Congratulation’s to KS!”

Friend and writer David McCallum will post his D5000 DHT DAC findings here: mihifilife.com

Munich Hi End Show was a flop for us. The sound of our room was poor for first 2 days. We were not prepared and suffered from room sharing political issues. Once we installed a high performing front end alternative, our collective equipment sounded decent Day 3 and 4. Unfortunately, the press and peers visited our room Day and 2. Overall, even with our bumbling efforts, I was highly impressed with the venue and sad that I had no time to explore that great city.

Hammertone Audio is moving August 15th to a new location/home in Kelowna,BC. Our phone number 250.862.9037 remains the same. Because of our move, I have several pieces of ALLNIC DEMOS and TRADES to sell along with a great selection of items like SME V12, A BEAT turntable like the one shown, a Kuzma 4 Point tone arm, Fidelity Research FR66S, 64 , Ikeda 407, Dynavector 507MK2, Origami, Garrard 301, Garrard 401 turntables, Cables from Purist and High Fidelity and much, much more. PLEASE CALL FOR DELIVERED PRICES AND ITEMS.

On behalf of KS Park and myself, we welcome Audio by Mark Jones in Ontario, Canada and Manuel Lopes of AV4U in the Benelux region as new distributors of ALLNIC AUDIO.

Remember, may what you hear be true!
