Ray Tubes Reviews 

Written by the company

Since the preview collapses line breaks into one block, the safe move is text that reads well without them. Same content, with transitions smoothed so nothing depends on a paragraph break: Ray Tubes designs and manufactures new production vacuum tubes for hi-fi and audiophile amplifiers. Our range covers the classics, including 12AU7, 12AX7, 12AT7, 6SN7, 6SL7, EL84, EL34, KT88, 300B, 2A3, and 5U4, organized into three collections. CORE delivers dependable everyday performance at an accessible price. SELECT applies stricter selection criteria for a lower noise floor and finer detail. RESERVE is our flagship tier, built for the most demanding systems. Most new tubes aren't manufactured with audio in mind. Ours are. We spend twice as long as most manufacturers on the most critical step of production, creating the vacuum inside the tube. Every tube then passes our 7-Step Quality Control Process, which includes electrical measurement, a 24-hour burn-in to weed out early failures, and evaluation by sound engineers in real audio equipment. Matched pairs and quads are measured and matched before they ship. That rigor is why every Ray Tubes product carries a One Year Warranty against manufacturing defects. Warranties are rare in the tube world, where 90 days passes for generous. We put in the work, so we stand behind it. We started Ray Tubes because the modern tube market had become difficult to navigate. Inconsistent quality, unreliable sellers, thin stock. Our tubes give you the classic sound without the hassle. Old-fashioned quality, modern reliability, available at raytubes.audio and through retail partners worldwide.See more
