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,

@aricaudio, that is exactly the way these tubes were described to me. I’m running KenRad vt 231 dark glass now,and they are awesome. I was told”wait till the Linlai’s burn in”.

I contacted Don Sachs when Shuguang WE6SN7’s became unavailable. He’s using Linlai now and says they’re the best he’s found to use in his designs.

I have used a pair in my Lampizator B3 and in LM 805IA. Both places has been very good.

He says they make his NOS tubes sound thin and lifeless

does this mean that the price of NOS tubes will now plummet, or will they retain value as objects d‘art?

@rocray those are absolutely stellar tubes and the feedback you were given on them it spot on! I have a pair myself and they are just as fast and nuanced as any other tube I've tried, and once broken in have incredible body and soul. I've purchased several pair for customers and highly recommend them. I hope this helps, and best wishes. Aric
