For good measure, I also got the Gotham 85025 power chord with gold pins to replace my stock power cord to my preamp. That requires some burn in too. Hope it all comes together well.
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

@rocray Thank you for the reassurance. Having read some of your comments here thats what I am going to do; having the Linlais go through a lengthy burn in before critical listening. 100 hours is a fair bit of time. I just gotta be patient before I enjoy the sonic quality these tubes seem to provide. Its indeed very encouraging to hear your impressions. By the way, my Linlai tubes are on amptata 8pin octal socket savers as you had suggested. Its the gold pin version - only way to get the Linlais fully plugged into my preamp. |
Great thread. Has anyone compared the Linlai Elite E-6SN7 to Grant Fidelity's Treasure Globe 6SN7-SE?? These are the top two 6SN7 tubes Grant Fidelity offers and it would be great to hear any experiences comparing the two. I think I saw this question asked earlier in the thread but couldn't see anyone chiming in with opinions - apologies if I missed it. |
@rocray Sorry a noob question. Did your tubes turn black at the bottom as you burnt it in? Mine does. |
