Exceptional Customer Service & Exceptional Warranty...!
I purchased a matched pair of Ray Reserve 6SN7's from someone on Audio Mart for use in my LTA Aero DAC. After they arrived and I installed them, all of the front panel lights began flashing indicating a tube fault.
The seller assured me the tubes were virtually new, having maybe 40 hours on them, and suggested I contact Ray Tubes as they provide a 1 year transferrable warranty on all of their tubes.
After sending a note to Ray Tubes explaining the situation, I received a very warm response, indicating they were familiar with my DAC and that it was a great unit, and that it would very much benefit from the Ray Reserve 6SN7's, and saying they would love to replace the faulty tubes with good ones so I could enjoy all of the sonic pleasures that the DAC was truly capable of producing.
They requested a copy of the original receipt, which I obtained from the seller, and after a couple more emails, arrangements were made to send a set of replacement tubes to me.
Within a week or so a brand new set of Ray Reserve 6SN7's arrived at my door, which worked perfectly when installed in my DAC and resolved the problem entirely.
They also provided a prepaid return shipping label to me via email so I could return the faulty tubes back to them, which I had on their way back a day later...
I couldn't be happier with my Ray Reserve 6SN7's or the excellent customer service I received with them honoring their exceptional 1 year transferrable warranty .
My DAC sounds exceptional now, and aside from initially discovering the tubes I had purchased didn't work properly right out of the box, everything involved in contacting Ray Tubes and the entire process of getting them replaced with a new properly working pair was a pleasure...!
I highly recommend Ray Tubes for both the exceptional sonic qualities of their tubes, as well as their exceptional customer service, and truly world class warranty...!
