Ray Tubes is excited to announce a brand partnership with Audioarcan. Based in Barrie, Audioarcan is the Canadian distributor for UK-based tube amp manufacturer Icon Audio. Our vacuum tubes are now available from Audioarcan--be sure to check out Icon Audio on our Tube Compatibility Page for all the details.
Audioarcan’s founder Warren Lavender is a committed audiophile with an intimate knowledge of hi-fi equipment, bolstered by a career that’s spanned over forty years. His philosophy is simple: he only carries products he knows and enjoys personally. That’s what led him to bring Icon Audio’s incredible catalogue of tube amps to a Canadian audience. He hasn't stopped there--he's built a tight-knit community of audiophiles in Barrie through frequent events, where he introduces new products to the group.
Audioarcan goes above and beyond in its role as distributor. From marketing initiatives to trial home listening sessions and participation in major audio conventions like Toronto’s annual Audiofest, they support the brands they represent with deep conviction and dedication. That support includes Warren's partnership with DJCS Technical Services to provide licensed repair and upgrade services for Icon Audio, Graham Slee, and Pure Fidelity products. We take warranties and quality control very seriously, and we know that without the resources to back it up, a warranty is meaningless. Warren's transparency in this aspect of his business is just one more thing we admire about him.
Audioarcan is proud to offer Ray Tubes because they believe our tubes--especially the RESERVE 6SN7 and SELECT 12AU7--make the perfect companion for high-end tube amps like those from Icon Audio. We’re honored to support their commitment to exceptional audio experiences.
As always, if you have any comments or questions, or know of someone who’d make a good partner for us, feel free to reach out at nelson@raytubes.com.
