Linlai does the same thing with the elite 6sl7 with the global and eastern tubes, they look like the same tube also.
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 have purchased 8 LinLai E-6SN7 tubes from various vendors on Aliexpress. Most recently I took advantage of a special and got a matched quad for $250. Other than the labeling I am convinced that these are identical to the Grant Fidelity tubes. Perhaps there is additional testing but it is ridiculous to think they are making a different tube for the Western market. BTW, the E-6SN7's have performed admirably in every amp I have put them in and currently they are driving my Cary SLP-05 preamp. I like them better than any of the NOS tubes I have tried. |
@borisj the store name is Hi-end Tubeaudio Store. They have periodic sales. The quad currently is $298. |
Thank you @pinwa I was thinking of getting a quad for my SLP-05, I think I'll go ahead and do it.
