If i recall people were calling Lorenz fotm when they were the rage last year and they are still getting high praises. I have the holland orange globe amperex and they are really not preference, recessed highs, super warm, and undetailed. Pretty much opposite the Lorenz to my ears. I'm sure the 50's amperex pinch waist are sweet but I saw a pair on audiogon last month for $650, so for now I'm going to have to live vicariously through soth's description

Actually these look pretty sweet, even though they are holland made http://app.audiogon.com/listings/holland-e188cc-7308-pair-nos-nib-matched-1962-possib
Kinda pricey, however a picture of a cracked out cat on the boxes might sweeten the deal :D

Well, they were wrong. Totally wrong.

I was just making a totally blind unexperienced Head-Fi guess. 
 
As of late I've stopped buying tubes. I have about 8 pairs of Lorenz and a few Siemens. I ended up spending 
way more than I ever expected on tubes. And though there are a few tubes like the Amperex 50's pinch waist
I missed out on or never tried. I am pretty damn happy with what I have.
 
I am very much looking forward to Schiit statement tube rolling.

Seriously?
 
That's messed up.

I've made my greed for Lorenz well known.
 
But to be fair....I only have 6 pairs of Stuttgart's and 2 pairs of the Nish.

And,
Is there any confirmation from Jason at Schiit,that this is a safe procedure..
Couldn't it possible cause damage to the Lyr,or worse yet,,to a Lorenz???

I would not myself change out the caps it would be a negliglbe difference and void your 5 year warranty with Schitt.. Now maybe when I do decide to upgrade my Lyr maybe I will play with it but caps haha thier is so much debate on that... Its not even worth mentioning
