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
@ram18 Absolutely. The tubes that @bugredmachine sent me also sounded different, (made in China). No base, & Very open top end. @jayctoy I agree. We get what we pay for. I just don't like how my tubes presents the low end on my rig. Not as defined (Bloated) as my other tubes. That's why their up for sale. |
I was recently looking for two matched pairs of 845 tubes. Everyone I talked to suggested PSvane Acme Series as the way to go. That used to be the recomendation from Grant Fidelity as well. Then Grant had a falling out with PSvane, and suddendly those tubes are crap and Linlai is the best thing since sliced bread. I had some conversations with Grant (owner is actually a lady) and she mostly complained about the way PSvane was treating her as a customer. Very little talk about the quality issue until it got around to her new supplier. I am always leary of anything a retailer has to say about a product once they no longer carry the item. Of course the new prodict is going to be so much better. Short story long, I used DHGate, a Chinese version of Amazon, and order a couple pairs of PSvane 845's. Order was fulfilled by a company called China HIFI Audio. The tubes arrived at my front door by DHL in 11 days. Good tracking all the way. They sounded good right from the start and my system sounds fabulous about a couple hundred hours. |
@danmar123 Tks for the update. |
