| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @rah50 Can you call Grant Fidelity and ask? I'm betting the vertical logo was an early version, but would love to know the truth. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @ram18 I'm so glad to hear that your sound is improving. Keep moving forward. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I used Deoxit D5. It's for cleaning all metal contacts. Spray on metal conductors and wipe off the tarnish or crud. Or spray on a soft cloth and wipe down conductors. Don't spray directly into tube sockets on component. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @ram18 Those look really good. Mine are Bakelite but don't say silver plated. Got mine on Ebay. The pins looked dull or tarnished so I cleaned well with Deoxit and got them shining. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes And if the Linlais are gonna score really well, may just get quad Linlais for my Freya + like you have done. Schiit apparently recommends all quads being of the same tube make. So may go down that road. @ram18 , a quad of Linlai's may provide ... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @danmar123 I remember you testing his tubes. The tubes they sent me, did not look, or have the same sound signature like the one's from Grant Fidelity or China. ''First hand experience''. But this order was yours, yes? | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @danmar123 Yours is a difficult situation to figure out. Could your tubes have been for the Chinese market, or grey market US? We'll probably never know. | |
| 6SN7 and 6SL7 tubes recomendations (Cayin A88T integrated) Linlai E-6SN7 is excellent, transparent and dynamic. But it has a large bottle, there's a diagram with measurements on the website. | |
| Why are people paying these stupid tube prices? We should have some empathy for poor musicians. They have their Marshall stacks getting bounced around in a van every night. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @vivatubes Thank you for corresponding. In the past, I've only had excellent transactions with you. My suggestion regarding your Linlai's for sale, use the same name as the Linlai factory. Globe-Balloon Black Plates is different terminology tha... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes My Linlai's match the 2nd photo and came via Don Sachs's vendor. Either the 1st pic shows the Chinese version or it's an earlier construction. In fact, I now have 2 pairs, both match pic #2. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes My E-6SN7's have a serial number inside the bottle. All authentic Linlai's do. I wonder if Viva's tubes have it. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes The global ones have the logo vertical and the eastern ones have it horizontal, but the internal structure looks the same, except for the ones from viva tubes. I don't think you can use that as a reference any more. Mine came from Don Sachs's d... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Google them and you'll see a nice looking Ebay storefront. Linlai E-6SN7's matched pair in gift box at a fair price, free shipping. Much cheaper than I paid from a Chinese dealer. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes wonder if Viva got a bad batch all from the same lot (giant box o’ tubes), rattled apart or something maybe from a dropped box in shipping from afar. Who knows, they’ll have to answer to you’all on that. More likely they were a backdoor purcha... |
