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,

    Ray

I use these tubes for the output stage of my CD player. They replaced a set of insanely-expensive Brimar CV-181 tubes that were damaged in a tragic feline accident. Probably 1/3 the price and equally-wonderful sound quality.

Best value in high-end 6SN7 tubes. I had to replace an insanely-expensive pair of NOS Brimar CV-181 with the LinLai Elite and the new tubes are on par with the other tubes which cost 4x as much. Buying through Rachel at Grant Fidelity is always a great experience.

I use a pair in my tubed CD player and they sound great. They replaced a pair of NOS Brimar CV-181 that cost over 3x as much.
