Nice, big old thread! I love it.
I just received a pair of the Linlai Elite 6sn7s. I'm one hour into them; they sound spectacular. I was pretty shocked so I landed here. If these never got better from break-in I'd still be happy. What a tube!
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

Also just to throw another wrench into all of this....... Here is an example of a vertical Linlai with the wrong "base" bought from Grant. I thought the ones with this base were only the E-6SN7 non Global's? I think Linlai is screwing us. |
Why is that the wrong base. They look like the same base I received last year from Grant. They also match the base of every other Elite on the website. Maybe what they have picture is illustration purposes only. I don’t think Rachel is willing to risk her reputation after all these years. This picture is from the website.

Linlai global tubes are made for 'western' market and they are different from non 'global' tubes,they have different presentation.U have that info on their website.And for the base of the tube I think it doesn't matter if the base have 'ring' on it or no.U can see on they website that some tubes from the elite series have ring on their base and some not. |
