top 5 NEW production 6sn7 tubes

As a manufacturer we have many NOS 6SN7 tubes we have collected over the years.  We did try a pair of the Linlai 6SN7 tubes in our hybrid stereo power amplifier comparing them to the Sylvania Chrome dome NOS 6SN7 tubes.  The Sylvania tubes had a much more musical presentation (sweeter/warmer/musical) and the Linlai while not as romantic sounding had a much wider and separate sounding sound stage.  Either tube sounded fantastic so it would come down to speakers and personal preference.

Happy Listening

Do any of you folks using Linlai know if there is any REAL difference between Linlai and Linlai Global? 

I can also add I have Tung-sol and Electro Harmonix 6SN7's and neither of these have proved adequate to stop my purchasing NOS 1950's Tubes.

But both are able to to produce a End Sound that is able to be lived with for extended periods.    

I was happily using Linlai E's until i got the Cryotone 6SN7's. These are magificent tubes. 

I am also a fan of the LinLai E-6SN7 tubes.  I bought 4 pairs of them from whoever was selling cheapest on Aliexpress and never had a problem.  I have at least a dozen pairs of NOS 6SN7s that all have slightly different flavors but found the LinLai to be the best all around for my tastes.
