These must be the most exotic European audio tubes! So elusive they're even unheard of in many parts of the world. Not many of these tubes are around, either, let alone a strong matched pair! Although lesser known than big names like Telefunken and Siemens, they are just as remarkable as any other German-made tubes and have been the go-to tubes for guitar amplifier users.
Sound Qualities
Like most German tubes, they are characterized by an impressive open "air" at the top end, and the soundstage is large, even in mono applications such as my classical vinyl records from the early '50s, these tubes provides you with a full 3-D imaging. The midrange is ruler flat, a.k.a. natural sound, and the bass is tight and accurate. One very unique feature of Lorenz tubes is the fine sense of dynamics you get from anything you play - it feels you are enveloped by an invisible "musical body" that you can't escape from and it's cerebrally joyful. Last but certainly not the least, as the legend goes for all the German tubes, these are astonishingly quiet. If you're seeking European tubes with ultra low noise look no further. These will get the job done fantastically.
