I haven't heard the Linlai Elites, but would love to read a comparison between the two. Anyone??
We did a comparison and IMO they sounded very similar- and both excellent. However, the globe structure has a decided resonance that the Linlai does not. As long as you don't have microphonic problems its no worries, but any microphonics the tube has/might develop will be exacerbated by the resonance of the glass.
