| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Been leaving my preamp on for the past few days as these are pretty dark at first as everyone has said. Looking forward to them burning in a bit. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Same here. Added two to my Cary preamp and just the two for the balanced output and noticed an immediate change. Nice airy highs and separation. ordered a quad that will arrive Monday and will have all 6 tubes be the Linlai. Excited. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @pinwa had great luck mixing them up, I was surprised. But yeah those stock tubes are horrible. I think people sell them with the stock tubes because they never used them. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @pinwa good to hear. I've only had the stock EH tubes, which were way to bright for me. Then tried some JJ's, not bad actually but not great, then Sylvania VT231, which I have liked quite a bit. Tried a combo of JJ in 1, 4, and Sylvania 7N7 in ... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Thank you @pinwa I was thinking of getting a quad for my SLP-05, I think I'll go ahead and do it. pinwa 140 posts 02-05-2023 at 01:27am I have purchased 8 LinLai E-6SN7 tubes from various vendors on Aliexpress. Most recently I... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes That's good to hear, where did you get them? From reading this thread I was under the impression that the Global Elite from Linlai and Grant had a different base, the ones in the pictures on their sites. I think that tells me that the only di... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Very true, the problem is they are double the price, that's a lot to pay for an assumption. At least each pair comes with supposed "test certificates" Who knows....... invalid 820 posts 02-04-2023 at 09:41am The only two ... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes That HAS to be the truth!!!! ;) ;) The Uniqueness of [LINLAI™ Global] Tubes: Tubes bearing [LINLAI™ Global] logo are engineered, produced and carefully screened to exclusively meet western music listeners’ preference: 1) Aim to high degr... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @evank What I am saying is that I posted a link to the vertical print, from Grant, tube that has the same base as the non "global elite" tube. That's always been the point that people tried to make that the ones direct from Linlai and from Grant ... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes 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. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes These are so confusing. I know some people are saying the Global and Elite are different. seems like the first ones people were using were just the “Elite” and they loved them. Not sure which ones to buy, what a mess. | |
| Wavestream Kinetics M100 monos, worth it? Really wish somebody would have answered this...... But I guess it will have to be me after I receive them! :) I ended up getting them, took a gamble for sure since it seems like only a few pairs of these were made. Scott Franklin is highly ... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression @xcool did you ever try different tubes? I just got an SLP-05 (used older one) and it came with newer stock EH tubes and I really liked the sound BUT it was a tad bit bright and harsh sounding so I tried some JJ's I had and the whole unit changed... | |
| Okay to use RCA adapter on a fully balanced amp? @blkwrxwgn , you should be able to drive the amp single-ended using an adapter. I would expect that your amplifier would sound the same driven balanced or single ended based on the statement above. I trust your judgment, It's also not my final ... | |
