New From Ray Tubes: SELECT 5U4 Tubes

New From Ray Tubes: SELECT 5U4 Tubes

SELECT 5U4 tubes are now available. As part of our SELECT collection, they’re the best 5U4 vacuum tube you’ll ever need, with more involved production and stricter selection criteria. Let them bring out the best in all your favorites.

The 5U4 is a common full-wave rectifier tube used in power supplies to convert alternating current to direct current. Its twin-diode design uses a shared cathode and two anodes to convert both halves of the AC cycle. Rectifiers like the 5U4 are sometimes overlooked by audiophiles, but like power and signal tubes, they can greatly influence the sound of a tube amplifier.


Vetted By Real People

Most new tubes aren’t manufactured with audio in mind. Ours are. All our tubes are vetted by sound engineers as part of our rigorous quality control process to ensure reliable, consistent performance in audio equipment.


The Ray Tubes One Year Warranty

Tubes fail in all sorts of ways. That’s why warranties are rare. We have one anyway, because we put in the hard work and we stand by our products. All our tubes come with a one year warranty against manufacturing defects.
