Can't help with the 6sn7, but Linlai Elite 101D solid plates are best 101d out there. Good to hear there may be new 6sn7 to challenge NOS. At some point NOS tubes will cease to exist, we'll need new quality tubes to carry on.
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
