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 don't think anyone has to worry about fake tubes. There are only 2 companies in China capable of making these tubes and I don't think Psvane would do a fake, although a copy maybe with their own label is very possible. The two versions may be voiced differently, although I don't know why. Someone with both types will have to tell us what they think.
@danmar123 I don't know yet whether my 2 pairs sound any different. I'm waiting till I get 100 hours on the GF pair then I'll swap them into the gain stage. I only know they sound hugely better than the Psavane UK's that I replaced them with in the buffer and the Psvane UK is a decent tube. Hopefully the GF will sound a little better, for the extra cost they should! |
@rah50, you bring up good points about fakes. I am interested to hear impressions of any difference between the two. But,for now,the burn in continues. I am at 12 hrs. I won’t do any comparison listening until I at least reach the 100 hour mark. I’m feeling good about having a back up pair.(I like them that much) I will also be waiting for a potential release of Western Electric 6SN7. |
@rocray What W/E 6sn7? LOL |
