Linlai E 6sn7 tubes

Just to build on the point @danmar123  made. Googled the difference between TM and Registered as displayed by different versions of the Linlais. This is what it says ( not a legal interpretation though)

What is the difference between TM and registered trademark?

TM denotes that you are claiming a right to use your brand as a trademark, although it may not yet be registered with the relevant IP office. (R) signifies that your trademark is officially registered with the IP office in the country and for the goods and services that you are using it for.

Not sure if this adds to greater clarity or confusion.

Yes, the sound is wonderful. You’re right, the Globals are much more expensive than from Chinese Ebay dealers. Grant Fidelity, $303 per pair. My pair was fairly priced at $190 USD but shipping to US was $60. So not so cheap.

Another thing I don’t understand is why Viva Tubes, who is an authorised dealer, has so many defective tubes.

Will wait to hear from danmar.

@lowrider57  Likewise Linlai non Global  tubes  sold here locally cost the same as yours -S$250 per pair. Well guess @danmar123  holds the key. :)

I hope you've been following this thread to see our confusion regarding Linlai Global tubes for export. Can you tell us which tubes you have purchased and are using, vertical logo or horizontal Linlai branding? 

And if you're able to comment on a difference in sonics between the two. Many thanks.

@invalid, that is what I found,that is Linlai. I couldn’t find the connection to Linlai Global. That’s the reason I’m baffled.
