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

Beware...Linlai does not have any authorised dealers on AliExpress. There is a "buyer beware" page on their website.

Has anyone tried the Grant Fidelity globes, (the spherical ones)?  Wondering if there’s any difference with the SE version?

thanks, Ted 

I’m at the 70 hour point. Like I’ve stated earlier,I was told to give these at least 100 hours. I can easily say that I am happy with my purchase.  The depth and width of the soundstage is really wonderful.  I don’t find these dark at all any longer.  They present with meat on the bones as it were, but not thick.  I don’t listen very loud,so low volume detail means a lot to me. These are delivering.   I’m going to give these another week or so, and at that point I plan on doing a side by side comparison with the KR black glass.  
          
           I’m looking forward to hearing what others have to say regarding the Linlai’s.

@rocray  on the flip side, the Premium Box set of PSVANE CV181-TII (6SN7s) tubes arrived today.

27 days to reach my doorstep in the USA, ordered from a large overseas distributor. Surprised the package arrived undamaged after many station scans, transfers.

A little taller and slightly wider at the base compared to the TJ Full Music 6SN7s.

Shows tested 10/9/2021, a little over 5 months ago, likely distributor inventory.

Starting burn-in now, hearing changes in the first four hours already. Interesting.
