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,

I know you didn't. Can you link me to the 6SN7 Globe?

The name of the Linlai's I and others purchased are the Global E-6SN7. According to the manufacturer, Global is the series for international sales. China has a domestic brand.

I must have a serious comprehension issue. I looked on Vivas website for 5 minutes last night, and couldn’t find a mention of a matched pair!  Singles,triplets,and so on, but no pairs.  Time to start eating some brain food. Any suggestions?? 

@rocray , I just went there and saw a few pairs listed. Globe Balloons and Black plate pairs listed, both. Could be sporadic supply or them playing games making it look like they are low inventory to get people to buy "last few pairs" each day.  Two things to try.  Weird pricing stuff going on with some of the quads of power tubes I use and Viva is now marking up 2x-4x on some quads too.  Clear your cache / clear history on your computer browser in case its showing an old page not refreshed, and/or call them tomorrow on the phone and see what matched pairs they really have in stock.  Let us know what the scoop of the day is now :)
