Golden Tube Audio

About Golden Tube Audio

Golden Tube Audio was a California-based HiFi company founded by the Lau brothers around 1990 to manufacture valve (tube) amplifiers. Best known for models like the SE-40 and SE-100, their products featured striking, tube-exposed designs and delivered a warm, rich sound signature cherished by many audiophiles. While praised for their aesthetic flair and engaging sonic character, Golden Tube Audio amplifiers were also reputed for above-average reliability issues and required careful maintenance. The brand is now defunct, but its gear still enjoys a cult following in the used market for those seeking vintage tube amplification.
