Moon Audio Tube Testing Process
Our high-end audio systems achieve sonic purity through the use of carefully selected NOS vacuum tubes. We take time to search for NOS tubes, understanding their unique potential for audio reproduction. Each tube is rigorously tested using legendary HICKOK 800K 600K Dynamic Mutual Conductance Tube Tester and TV7-A/U Vacuum Tube Testers to measure critical parameters, including mutual conductance, emission, and gas levels. By precisely matching tubes based on these measurements, we deliver balanced, dynamic, and lifelike audio that elevates your listening experience to an art form.
