VACUUM TUBES
Ayon Audio strongly discourages changing tubes (tube rolling) for the purpose of “improving
sonic performance”. Tubes of the same part number from different manufacturer’s and lots
generally vary considerably in many operating parameters. The Orion has been sonically and
precisely optimized for the tubes installed at the factory in Austria, by Ayon Audio. The KT88 and
12AU7 tubes are highly selected and matched tubes by our experts at Ayon Audio.
The original signal tubes will provide for many years of excellent audio performance.
Tube Life Expectancy
When tubes are new they are at slightly greater risk of going bad during there break in period.
This is called infant mortality. After the break in time period the tubes will stabilize and last for the
several thousand hours of operation unless traumatized by being jarred or dropped. For
maximum audio quality however we recommend replacing the tubes after 3000 hrs of
operation.
