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.

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...!

Hi Glenn,

The transferable warranty exists for exactly this. Tubes change hands constantly in this hobby, and a fault inside the first year is ours to sort out regardless of whose name is on the original order.

We know the Aero well, and the RESERVE 6SN7 belongs in it, so it's good to know you're hearing what the DAC can actually do.

Thanks for writing all that up, Glenn.

Reach out any time if anything comes up.

Above and beyond

They went above and beyond to replace a pair of tubes that were just under warranty but had been purchased by another person.

Hi David,

We were happy to take care of it. A pair that fails inside the year is a pair we want to hear about, and it doesn't matter to us whose name was on the original order.

Thanks for the kind words, David.

Friendly and professional service

The guys at Rays Tubes were professional, friendly and replaced a tube that went bad. New tube is working fine.

Hi James,

Thanks for taking the time to write this. Tubes go bad once in a while, and getting a replacement out fast is the part we hold ourselves to.

Outstanding Support and Tubes That Deliver

I hit a problem with a matched pair of RESERVE 6SN7s that turned out to be faulty. The original purchase date of this set fell a little past the one-year warranty window, but Steven made a one-off exception and shipped a replacement pair anyway.

Support like that is rare. The new pair showed up fast and sounds flawless in my LTA Aero DAC. Ray Tubes builds excellent products and backs them with a level of care I haven't run into elsewhere.
