ABOUT RAY TUBES

The People Behind the Tubes

Centered Image

The Ray Tubes team is made up of people all over the world with one goal in common: helping you get the most out of your audio system by making quality vacuum tubes available to anyone and everyone who needs them, without the hassle.

It Takes All Kinds…

Ray Tubes is based in Chino, CA, but that only tells half the story. A company is a collection of people with varying expertise all working towards the same goal, and we don’t let geography constrain us. Our photographer is based in Canada; our graphic designers are in New York and Hong Kong. Our supply-chain team is largely based near our key suppliers in Asia, while our California team takes care of logistics and develops our product roadmap. What they all have in common is a dedication to Ray Tubes' core philosophy.

…To Make a Tube

Collectively, our team brings over a century of experience in their respective fields, but experience isn't the only thing we look for. We count among our number car enthusiasts, novelists, and polyglots. Some of us have been in the audio industry for decades; others have recently made the jump from tech, or jewellery, or cosmetics. That's what we value most: the skills and experiences that give every single member of our team, from our CEO on down to the interns, their own unique perspective.

If there's a single word that describes the culture at Ray Tubes, it's care.

A Culture of Care

If there's a single word that describes the culture at Ray Tubes, it's care. All too often, companies treat their team members as interchangeable cogs in the machine. A graphic designer is a graphic designer is a graphic designer. We think that's a terrible idea. The best way to succeed as a company is to hire interesting people who care about what they do, and to do that, you have to see them as a person first, and an employee second.

The Craft is in the Details

Take our artist and graphic designer Izzy, who came on board because her hand-drawn style was a perfect match for our technical drawings. Any designer could make graphics for us, but only she can do it with her own unique craft. That attention to detail is at the heart of everything we do, whether it's designing our packaging or making and testing the tubes themselves. It's why we're confident enough in our products to offer our One Year Warranty, and it's why we're confident you'll love them too.

A Worldwide Community

We may be spread out all over the world, but we love a chance to get together. It's the same thing with our retail and brand partners. In-person relationships are the best way to build community, which is why we don't sell our products direct to customers—we want to encourage the kind of relationships that only happen when you walk into a real, physical store. That’s also why we attend as many trade shows and other events as we can. Any time we can get people talking about their love of audio, the community gets just a little bit stronger.
