I just checked Linlai's website that I purchased the Global's, & there is no 6SN7 for sale on their site. G/F has them with the black vertical lettering. Everyone else has them with the gold horizontal lettering. FWIW
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

@twoleftears That's the official Linlai website. I ordered my Global E from them. |
I had a good email exchange with Rachel from Grant Fidelity last night regarding Linlai. I said a lot of us were misled and bought the E-6SN7 Chinese version. I then asked about the Global HIFI compared to the Global Elite. She wouldn’t comment on sonic characteristics due to the many different component designs and circuits not to mention individual system setups. She did, however, state that the HIFI series are entry-level and are a good choice to replace stock tubes. The Global Elite are premium tubes which undergo additional testing. I didn’t need to read between the lines to catch her drift. |
