The Ray Tubes Select EL34 is the best EL34 vacuum tube you’ll ever need. It goes above and beyond the baseline with more involved production and stricter selection, all in pursuit of superior sound.
The SELECT Collection brings out the best in all your favourites.
Hand selected and tested, the Ray Tubes SELECT EL34 features gold pins for corrosion resistance and improved conduction.
The SELECT Collection is a substantial upgrade from both New Old Stock and other new production tubes. Fewer than 5% of production meets their standards.
The EL34 is a power pentode vacuum tube that was introduced by Mullard in 1955 and is usually found in an amplifier’s final output stage.
Befitting its British origins, the EL34 was commonly used in amps built by companies like Marshall and Vox—as such, it became associated with British music of that era.
The Ray Tubes Select EL34 offers strong bass performance and rich mid-to-high frequency detail, perfect for users seeking balanced sound and detailed performance, particularly suited for complex compositions and large dynamic music playback.
Bass Performance
Solid and elastic, with moderate extension and very clear low-end response. Clean and powerful low frequencies with great control in the bass make it suitable for genres like rock and electronic music.
Midrange Performance
Full and natural, with excellent linearity and a warm, expressive tone. Vocals especially are delicate and realistic, with clearly presented layers and note articulation.
Treble Performance
Clear and bright, with rich detail and good extension. The high frequencies provide great transparency without being overly aggressive or sharp, maintaining a well-balanced sound suitable for extended listening sessions.
Dynamics and Soundstage
The dynamic range is expansive, particularly in large dynamic contrasts, with accurate rendering of musical shifts. The soundstage is wide, with precise imaging and strong layering, ideal for large-scale music compositions and deep spatial reproduction.

At Ray Tubes, they know that passion brings people together. Tube audio has brought audiophiles together for decades, but in recent years, it’s become more difficult to access than ever.
The modern tube market is a mess—dodgy quality, shady sellers, limited stock. No good. They fixed it. Ray Tubes give you that classic sound without the hassle. Old-fashioned quality, modern reliability.
When it comes to making reliable tubes, there’s no such thing as a silver bullet. A factory that makes the world’s best 300Bs might not be best for 12AU7s. That’s why they partner with manufacturers around the world to build tubes to their exact specifications.
No leaks, no discoloured getters, and no dodgy filaments: just good materials and quality craftsmanship.
