The Allnic Audio L-10000 OTL/OCL is a flagship remote-controlled line-stage preamplifier using an output transformerless (OTL) and output capacitorless (OCL) topology for direct coupling between its 300B output tubes and connected power amplifiers. It employs a triple gain stage with 6AN8 and 12AU7 tubes driving four 300B direct-heated triodes in SEPP configuration, minimizing coloration for highly accurate, dynamic sound. The circuit features Allnic's Active Balanced Positive and Negative Feedback Circuit controlled by the 6AN8 pentode to reduce distortion and optimize linearity. A true dual-mono layout and a 61-step silver-contact constant-impedance attenuator provide precise volume control. Connectivity includes five line-level inputs (2 RCA, 3 XLR) and three outputs (2 RCA, 1 XLR). Praised for holographic soundstaging, natural instrument timbre, and a low noise floor, the L-10000 weighs approximately 22-23 kg and consumes around 120 W.
