Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
Received my Grant Fidelity Linlai Globes today. Superb tubes. They are extremely quiet, more quiet than the best Linlai I have had so far and as quiet as the CV181’s I have in the hiss/tube rush category. I did have to use an extender on one to ...

I was not allowed to upload the Revopod cross section from their website. It is very informative and their description lays out how it works. It makes total sense and they allow radial movement and lateral movement with their design, thereby dissi...

I found Viva to be responsive and very willing to accept my tubes back. They arrived there today. They emailed me a return label via USPS. The Ebay seller I used was very willing to send a replacement set that were much better and he did it quick...

I did replace my rectifier resistor tonight. The previous one was, in fact, blown, and open. The new resistor is a 0.22 ohm. It does not make noisy tubes quieter btw.

Grant Fidelity say they listen to them with headphones to ensure low noise.   Has anyone tried the globe version?   I bought the regular version, and while only 30 minutes of running, they are fairly noisy and don't have much bass at this time.

My first bad pair came from China. My second came from Viva and are going back today. My second pair from same China source were acceptable. Tube sellers measure them but don’t have time to listen to them.

I bought a pair from them. A bad pair, but they have a great return policy with prepaid shipping labels.
