Welborne Labs

About Welborne Labs

Welborne Labs was a respected American company specializing in DIY high-end audio kits and components, particularly known for their tube amplifier kits such as the Moondog 2A3 and Laurel 300B. Founded and run by Ron Welborne, the brand earned acclaim among audio hobbyists for well-engineered products, comprehensive manuals, and options for customization. Welborne Labs catered mainly to enthusiasts interested in single-ended triode (SET) designs and vintage audio performance. However, reports from mid-2000s onward describe severe issues with customer service and unfulfilled orders, and the company has effectively ceased business operations since the early 2010s, despite its continued legacy among audio DIY communities.
