Linlai E 6sn7 tubes


I just placed an order for a pair of these for my Aric Audio Motherlode II.  I’ve been chatting with a fellow that runs the E 6sn7 in his Don Sachs pre. He loves them, He says they make his NOS tubes sound thin and lifeless.  
    It will be a couple weeks until I receive them,and I was curious if anyone out in Agon land has tried these,and what are your impressions?   
Thanks in advance,

    Ray

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. :)

@aricaudio 

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.
