@eddnog be patient with the Linlai E-6SN7’s. I had a pair and they went through a lot of changes during the first 75-125 hours. Bass and brightness was a moving target in my experience. Once they settled in they were a very nice new stock tube. I just preferred my NOS tubes for a warmer more engaging sound on my system. They would be my go to tube if my favorite NOS dry up or if prices rocket up.
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
