Engineered Exclusively for Audiophile Systems

The RESERVE Collection is designed for audiophile systems. These tubes focus on vocal realism, texture, and extended bass. Every part of their design enhances the listening experience in high-fidelity systems.

Ensuring Excellence

Every tube in the RESERVE Collection is thoroughly tested. An engineer checks each one for sound quality, dynamics, microphonics, gain, conductance, noise levels, and overall performance. This ensures they meet high standards for sound and reliability.

Magic Coating

Some things are better left unseen. You can’t see inside the RESERVE tube because it’s coated with something called monocrystalline carbon. This layer keeps the electrons on their toes, cools things down, and blocks out noise. If you’re into engineering, you might find the science fascinating. For the rest of us, it’s basically magic. The coating is delicate and tough to apply, which complicates production. That’s why we only use it for our RESERVE tubes—and why it costs more. When all’s said and done, it just means one thing—the sound is amazing.

12-Month Warranty

We trust our product. We offer a 12-month warranty on our vacuum tubes. This warranty covers any manufacturing defects.

Package Contents

Set of four, two, or single vacuum tube

A few highlights from high end:

@oephi_audio smashed it of course, but perhaps most shocking was their new entry level Ascendence speaker in a second room with @moonriveraudio. I was so taken aback I didn't even think to take out my phone to capture
A beautiful, sophisticated and spectacular system.

Soulnote A2 integrated amplifier 
Aurorasound Vida phonostage 
Transrotor Massimo Nero turntable 
Sonus Faber Maxima Amator loudspeakers

Hook this all up with @oephi_audio cables and away you go.
Qobuz Connect is live and working beautifully with @wattson_audio ! Has all the convenience of that "other" Connect but actually sounds good - correction, it sounds phenomenal.

Our partnering @exd.audio konNET switches delivering the goods
Joakim Juhl and Sven Boenicke are two passionate visionaries in audio - each carving out a distinct but complementary path in the pursuit of emotional, deeply engaging sound.

Joakim, the mind behind @oephi_audio approaches loudspeaker design as both
