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,

The Linlai Global Elite E-6SN7 are 56mm in diameter, or  2 3/16". Measure from center of socket outward half the distance of either those two measurements leaving enough clearance for neighboring 6SN7. I believe that clearance to be .5mm or .65mm

Important note: also keep in mind your top plate clearance, the chassis.

And hopefully someone will chime in with some Cary SLP-98 experience. 

@borisj, my bad.

Recommended clearance between both valves 1cm or 10mm or roughly 3/8"
