I’m thrilled to announce that Ray Tubes is partnering with the boutique Norwegian brand Oslo Vacuum Lab to offer our vacuum tubes as an option when commissioning one of their beautiful bespoke amplifiers.
Oslo Vacuum Lab is a little different to other amp manufacturers. Founder Hicham works with customers all over the world to create a fully customized amp that’s as much a reflection of its owner’s personality as it is an audio device. Every aspect of the amp, from its internal circuitry to small elements like its power switch to the wood and mirror chrome finish, showcases Hicham’s dedication to fastidious, flawless construction, and to offering his customers exactly what they want. That extends to their choice of vacuum tube—and Ray Tubes are now one of those options.
Oslo Vacuum Lab is a natural fit for us. Our tubes are made with the same philosophy as Hicham’s amps: bespoke design and meticulous attention to detail. We take great pride in obsessing over every last facet of our tubes, not to mention the quality control they go through, and we couldn’t be happier to team up with a brand on the same wavelength. Hicham's values of purity, beauty, and natural sound speak to us on a fundamental level.
Speaking of beauty, I also love Hicham's dedication to amps that fit seamlessly into their environment. For those of you with an eye for the aesthetic, you haven’t seen beautiful until you’ve seen a set of our RESERVE Collection tubes in one of Oslo Vacuum Lab’s amps. They take Scandinavian minimalism to a new level.
We'll have more to say about this partnership in the future. Stay tuned.
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.
