For my PrimaLuna (PL) EVO 100 integrated amp, I bought a matched quad of Ray Tube (RT) Select EL 34’s, a matched pair of RT Select 12 AX7’s, and a matched pair of RT Select 12 AU7’s. For my PL EVO 100 V2 phono preamp, I bought a matched pair of RT Select EL 34’s and a matched quad of RT Select 12 AX7’s. I was so thoroughly blown away by the performance of these tubes that I purchased a matched pair of RT Select 12 AT7’s for the MC section of the PL phono preamp. I can’t really describe how great these tubes are. First, they’re the most quiet tubes I’ve ever owned, and I own some very pricey NOS Telefunken, Brimar, GE, and National small signal tubes. Second, no tube I’ve ever owned has sounded as precise, open, and airy as the RT’s. Finally, there is essentially no distortion or top-end fizz in these tubes. They’re unbelievable. They are a little more pricey than current production tubes, but they are actually made for music reproduction. So, I feel they’re totally worth the price. Also, when was the last time anyone offered you a warranty on vacuum tubes? That’s confidence in a great product. I’m selling all my other tubes. I’ll only buy Ray Tubes as long as I can get them. Cheers!

The Ray Tubes Approach

Ray Tubes was created specifically for the audiophile and hi-fi market — not repurposed industrial tubes, not rebranded commodity production. They partner with manufacturers to build tubes to audio-specific specifications, then subject every batch to QC that includes both electrical testing and listening evaluation by sound engineers. The Select tier represents the results of that process at an accessible selection standard.

Press Recognition

Ray Tubes is a newer brand without extensive press coverage yet. Our own evaluation and customer feedback in amplifier applications has been consistently positive — comparable in character to better NOS options at a fraction of the cost.
