Linlai E 6sn7 tubes

@rocray actually it was a well respected US seller.  I’ll refrain from naming names as I think it’s a tube problem. You can PM me for specifics if interested.  It seems you as well as many others have had good luck with these tubes so I may try again in the future in case the seller happened on a bad batch.

Grant fidelity from Canada.

I just received a pair of Linlai E-6SN7 this afternoon. I'm using them in my Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL preamp.

They've only been playing for a couple of hours, but I really like them.  Only drawback is they are too large to fit through the top of the preamp. I may have to leave the top off. 

@sls883 I have the tube extenders on my Don Sachs pre, using the Global E & LOVE them. I recently purchased the LTA Aero DAC & purchased a set of Global Es. Burnt them in @ 20 hrs & didn't like the sound. To muddy, so they'll stay in my stash for future use.

@danmar123 I've tried quite a few NOS 6SN7 and 12SN7 tubes in my LTA preamp. So far, I think the Linlai sound best.  I need to break them in.  

I had a chance to hear the LTA dac in my system this weekend.  A friend brought his over.  He has Ray Reserve tubes in it. It sounds excellent.
