INTRODUCING THE H-5500 PHONO-STAGE PREAMPLIFIER
The H-5500 is the successor to Allnic Audio’s H-1202 phono stage preamplifier and sits just below the H-7000
model. Like all Allnic Audio products, it uses Permalloy (iron and nickel alloy) for its transformer cores. Allnic is
grateful to Mr. G.W. Elmen of Western Electric for inventing Permalloy for transformer core use, and in so
doing, providing an enormous service to recorded music listeners everywhere.
The H-5500 has the following features:
•
High-quality, NOS E180CC twin triode tubes
•
CR type RIAA equalization, precisely compensated /- 0.3dB
•
Automatic, all tube voltage regulation circuit, ensuring exceptionally stable and quiet operation
•
High quality Moving Coil Step-up Transformers with Permalloy cores
•
MC transformers variable gain (+22dB, +26dB, +28dB and +32dB)
•
No negative feedback design
•
Pure Class A operation
•
As are all Allnic Audio products, the H-5500 is fully RoHS (EU Reduction of Hazardous Substances
regulation) compliant in construction and materials
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
Please check that the shipping box contains the following:
•
One (1) Allnic H-5500 phono stage – in natural aluminum or black, depending on your order request
•
One (1) IEC type power cord
•
One (1) Owner’s Manual
Note:
1)
The H-5500 ships with the tubes installed.
2)
The H-5500 will work with most IEC type aftermarket power cords. Allnic’s ZL-3000 and ZL-5000 power
cords will provide excellent results. Of course, only you can determine the power cord that works most
synergistically with the H-5500 in your system.
3)
Be sure the H-5500 is labeled for the AC voltage of your location. If it is not, DO NOT connect the
H-
5500 to your AC mains. Contact your authorized Allnic representative (See Figure 1).
We advise that you keep the box and other packing materials that your H-5500 came in. It will be useful if you
sell your H-5500 or in the unlikely event you need to ship it for service.
SAFETY
•
Remove ALL protective cushioning material inside the tube chimneys before operation. The tube
chimneys should contain NOTHING except the tubes.
You may experiment with the tube damping
rings, on or off.
•
Disconnect the power cord by pulling the plug, not the cable.
•
Do not attempt any repairs. Do not remove the unit’s chassis covers without specific authorization
from an authorized Allnic Audio representative.
•
Keep the power cord away from heat sources.
