Syntax, From my readings and conversation with a dealer, the Allnic line is indeed produced and designed by the very same guy who was the Silvaweld designer. I think in the former case, he had a business partner who is now out of the picture. The products and all relevant parts (e.g., inductors, transformers) are hand-made in-house (in S Korea). The amorphous core nickel transformers would seem to have a lot of potential to dispel my own bias against SUTs in general.
Ecka, I did not see any negative comments about the Allnic stuff in this thread. It will be interesting to know Albert's opinion.
