RESERVE COLLECTION

 

The Best of the Best

The RESERVE Collection artfully designed and carefully manufactured solely for hifi audiophile devices. Vocals are smooth and lifelike with compelling delivery with superior decay, offering a realistic and immediate presence. The treble is crisp but carefully balanced to avoid harshness. The low-end is full and commanding. The result is a sound that is hard to beat. 


Engineered Exclusively for Audiophile Systems

Explicitly engineered for audiophile applications, the RESERVE Collection of vacuum tubes are crafted through a unique process that targets the specific needs of music lovers. Every aspect of their design and manufacture is aimed at enhancing the listening experience in high-fidelity systems, with a focus on critical sound characteristics such as vocal realism, texture, and extended bass.


Magic Coating

Some things are better left unseen. You can’t see inside the RESERVE tube because it’s coated with something called monocrystalline carbon. This layer keeps the electrons on their toes, cools things down, and blocks out noise. If you’re into engineering, you might find the science fascinating. For the rest of us, it’s basically magic. The coating is delicate and tough to apply, which complicates production. That’s why we only use it for our RESERVE tubes—and why it costs more. When all’s said and done, it just means one thing — the sound is amazing.

 


Ensuring Excellence

Every vacuum tube in the RESERVE Collection is subjected to a stringent quality assurance process. An audio engineer personally assesses each vacuum tube against a detailed checklist that includes sound profile, dynamics, microphonics, gain, conductance, and noise levels, along with overall performance. This ensures not only that the vacuum tubes align with audiophile expectations for sound quality, but also that they meet our rigorous standards for reliability and consistency.

 


Gold Pins

Gold pins not only add a touch of elegance but also serve a significant purpose. Gold's superior conductivity enhances signal transmission for crystal-clear sound, while its resistance to oxidation ensures long-term performance and durability. 


Silkscreened Logos

Even the logos deserve a special mention. Silk-screen-printed onto the tubes, they demonstrate Ray Tubes’  commitment to superior craftsmanship down to the smallest detail. This time-honoured printing technique is not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable, ensuring the design work remains vibrant and intact over time. 


12-Month Warranty

We trust our product. Ray Tubes offers a 12-month warranty — a rarity in the world of vacuum tubes. This warranty covers any manufacturing defects.
