I’ve been running the Linlai E 6sn7’s for almost three years now. The Aric Audio Motherlode II I purchased used,came with KenRad VT 231 smoked glass tubes. These are wonderful,highly rated tubes. However,my ears preferred the Linlai’s. The Linlai’s have well over 2000 hours on them. To me,they still sound excellent. 

@rocray Thevreport on the reliability of the Linlai E is quite something. Is there a opportunity to get them tested to see how they have maintained factory Spec'? 

@pindac ,Unfortunately,I have zero experience regarding anyone that tests tubes around me. The test result cards that come with these are,in my opinion,somewhat sketchy to start out with. I took the plunge knowing this,and upon a recommendation, didn’t look back. Of course,like everything,your mileage may vary.

I would like to know too!! I am using a brand new Shuguang 845 tube for my Audio Note clone. for far, I got this late 2024 and works great.
