FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ray Tubes Partners with FEEL FLOWS AUDIO to Launch Premium Vacuum Tubes in the UK

Perthshire, Scotland & Wye, Kent – 12 March 2025 – FEEL FLOWS AUDIO is proud to announce that it is now the official UK distributor of Ray Tubes, a premium vacuum tube brand revered for its exceptional quality, reliability, and sonic excellence. Musicians, hi-fi enthusiasts, and sound engineers across the UK can now access Ray Tubes' meticulously curated range through Feel Flows Audio Collective’s select resellers.

Retro Sound Meets Modern Build

Ray Tubes, based in Oakland, California, was founded by audio engineers and musicians to address the challenges of the modern vacuum valve market. Their solution? Classic tone with modern reliability. Each valve is handpicked and rigorously tested, ensuring consistent quality, low noise, and maximum reliability.

For years, audiophiles and musicians have sought New Old Stock (NOS) valves, but these can be rare, expensive, and inconsistent. Ray Tubes provides a modern alternative: brand-new, hand-selected, and extensively tested valves that deliver vintage sound without the risks.

Each valve undergoes a 24-hour burn-in period, high-intensity performance testing, and screening for microphonics, noise, gain, and conductance, ensuring only the best reach customers. 

The Ray Tubes Product Range

Ray Tubes offers three distinct tiers to cater to different needs and budgets:

• CORE Series - Starting from £34.99
  Reliable, high-quality valves that meet the needs of musicians, engineers, and audio professionals looking for dependable performance at an accessible price.
  
  

• SELECT Series - Starting from £133.99
  A step up in quality, these valves are individually tested and matched for enhanced consistency and sonic performance.
  
  

• RESERVE Series - Starting from £347.99
  The highest grade of vacuum valves, carefully selected from the best available stock, ensuring the most refined sound quality for professional studios and audiophiles seeking the pinnacle of valve performance.

The Rise of ‘Tube Rolling’

The growing trend of ‘tube rolling’—the practice of swapping out vacuum valves in audio equipment to customise and refine sound—has gained traction among musicians and audiophiles. Ray Tubes offers an excellent solution for those looking to experiment with different valve characteristics, allowing users to fine-tune their amplifiers, preamps, and hi-fi systems to achieve their desired sonic signature. With Ray Tubes now available in the UK, enthusiasts can access a reliable source of premium valves without the uncertainty of vintage alternatives.

"We’re excited to bring Ray Tubes to the UK," said Greg Chapman, Founder of FEEL FLOWS. "High-quality valves are essential for preserving analogue warmth and depth. Ray Tubes offers the vintage character without the hassle of unreliable, ageing stock. Musicians, audiophiles, and engineers will appreciate the care and expertise behind every valve."

"Ray Tubes is a natural fit for FEEL FLOWS - Audio Collective," Chapman added. "Alongside JICO and BonaWatt, we’re curating a selection of premium products that enhance the audio experience. Whether a stylus, power supply, or valve, we focus on exceptional craftsmanship that elevates sound reproduction."
