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,

I have the Shuguang Treasure 6SN7s on my Don Sachs preamp. Don says in his website that these simply walk away from the holy grail NOS tubes. That's quite a statement.

Obviously this is not the case with all NOS tubes...as a lot of the culture that made these tubes is gone forever.

My main issue is you can no longer get the Treasure variant of this tube from Shuguang (luckily I bought an extra set). You can no longer by the WE version anymore either. Psvane are hard to come by too. Now we have the Linlai.

What is up with the availability of new production tubes from the east? Not a good sign. Make a good product and keep improving it and keep making it.
