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,

Thanks for the reply. I have the same tubes as you, excellent sound and build-quality. It seems like Linlai isn't trying to control their international distribution, there are many vendors selling the E-6SN7 (non global). Makes me wonder if there really is a difference in SQ between tube types. 

My packaging is identical to the tubes @pinwa received. I wonder if Linlai sells more tubes, having two different types of silk screening?  On a side note,my new pair are burning in nicely. They are definitely becoming more liquidy. New word? 
 
    I now have two pair,purchased 3 months apart,and they look identical,and the new pair is definitely developing the attributes that made me like the first pair. 

Has anyone tried these in a VAC tube amp? I have their 200 IQ and wondering if they would fit and work.  Thanks.

From pictures on the web it looks like you have enough room between tubes on the vac 200 IQ amplifier.
