Ray Tubes supplies new production valves for audiophile amplifiers. While the tube market has long been plagued by inconsistent quality and murky origins, this company took a different path. Because every tube is built to exact specifications — in collaboration with specialist manufacturers worldwide — the result is reliable, musical performance without compromise.
Three quality tiers
Three distinct lines make up the range. First, the Core collection forms the solid foundation: new production tubes with consistent quality and rigorous testing. The Select collection goes further — audio engineers evaluate every tube individually for sound, noise floor and dynamics. Furthermore, only the finest specimens from each production run make the cut. Finally, the Reserve collection represents the absolute pinnacle: tubes held to the strictest tolerances and auditioned under real-world conditions.
Quality control
Every specimen undergoes a comprehensive testing process. Audio engineers measure more than twelve critical parameters, including amplification factor, internal resistance and noise level. Moreover, each tube is burned in for 24 hours and tested for microphonics. As a result, Ray Tubes logs every specimen under a unique serial number for full traceability.
