Hi @tom2015,
I’m glad to see that these work for you too. Any difference in quietness compared to the Tung Sols?
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

@rocray curious to learn more from your feedback on the blue globe Psv. I now have well over 150hrs on the Gray/Gold PSV CV181 premium pair tubes in my preamp. They are a unique tube, different from everything else in my stash. They are not crisp on top. Ultra smooth. Its nice yet odd to me how they are smooth, almost soft, and yet somehow still let upper detail still come through without adding too much edge or grain, at all - if that makes any sense. I’m using my most revealing OCC/Ohno interconnects between pre>amp too. Last night, once the system was fully warmed I was actually getting closer to 3D’ish sound from my FM tuner of all things. Its good to know we have other options with Linlai, PSV, etc. |
@decooney, it appears that the Psvanes are definitely cut from the same cloth. First off,you are far more eloquent than I am! In comparison to the Linlai’s,the blue globes seem a tiny bit rolled off on the top end,but definitely not dull. I find the low end to dig just as deep,but with just a little on the flabby side, but not sloppy at all. These are also very quiet,just like the Linlai’s. I think they do a good job of projecting a 3D soundstage,just not quite as wide as the Linlai’s. I totally agree with you about having more options out there. I have no issue with running these newly manufactured tubes vs vintage. Of course, I’m not going to commit to not buying vintage tubes. ;-) |
