Ray Tubes - SELECT 12AT7 Dual Triode Vacuum Tubes

Ray Tubes - SELECT 12AT7 Dual Triode Vacuum Tubes
The Ray Tubes SELECT is a dual triode vacuum tube for equipment that calls for a 12AT7 or compatible equivalent. In a push-pull amplifier, it can serve as a driver or phase inverter, depending on the circuit. Its nine-pin base and amplification factor of 60 make it a practical replacement for listeners who want to keep their equipment’s intended tube type while trying a different voicing.
Ray Tubes hand-selects and tests each SELECT 12AT7. Gold-plated pins help resist corrosion at the socket contacts. Ray Tubes describes its presentation as balanced, with controlled bass, a natural midrange, and smooth treble. Listeners who pay close attention to vocal phrasing or the decay of acoustic instruments may find that presentation appealing.
Ray Tubes offers the SELECT 12AT7 in sets of two or four, so you can choose the quantity your equipment calls for. The manufacturer lists ECC81, 6201, and CV4024 as compatible designations. Each package includes a handbook with burn-in guidance and a certificate of authenticity and warranty.
