Seeking some info on Allnic L-3000


Hi all- I have the opportunity to acquire a gently used Allnic L-3000 preamp. I’d appreciate any end user information on this piece. What to lookout for, any known issues and such. It will be replacing my Levinson 380s. My amp is the ARC D400mkII.   
 

Thoughts?

No issues or problems with mine, I've had it for many years.

My only criticism is I'd prefer the AC cord plug into the back of the unit instead of the side.

I use my Allnic L-3000 on the average of three hours per day (maybe more) seven days a week and have not had a need to replace any tubes yet.

I don't do any tube rolling because it came with very good tubes but I see no reason why you couldn't roll tubes.

@audioguest4life, I know...before I made the first post I searched high and low for the receipt for the L-3000 but could not locate it and I still have no idea for sure what year I purchased it. I do know that Albert Porter was still active on Audiogon and he had to order this unit for me from Korea. Who knows, maybe it's time to replace tubes but the music still sounds very good in that system.
