Turning Good Amps Great

The SELECT Collection isn’t just another notch on the audio quality post—it’s a whole new level. Designed for the listener who isn’t satisfied with just "good enough," these tubes turn up the dial on your audio experience from "pleasant" to "how did I live without this?"

Not All Tubes Are Created Equal

SELECT tubes come from the same stellar batches as CORE tubes but get the VIP treatment. Audio engineers handpick each one based on nothing short of audio perfection—sound profile, dynamics, the whole nine yards.

Gold Pins: Impress Your Friends!

Gold isn’t just for show here. It enhances the sound transmission and fights off the nasty effects of oxidation. Long story short, these pins last, ensuring your sound is golden for a long time to come.

A Warranty Worth Having

A full 12-month warranty backs every SELECT tube, which is pretty bold in an industry where NOS tubes only come with a weak handshake and a "good luck.”

Product highlights

• Rigorously hand-selected
• Gold pins for top-notch conductivity and longevity
• Dramatic improvement over generic tubes
• Matched pairs or singles, because choices matter
• Only 4% make the cut for gain and conductance
