| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @audioquest4life I’ve been suspicious of Viva since the start of this thread. And thank you for confirming my thoughts that they are not the same tube. I posted this earlier, a warning from Linlai: Chinese domestic tube market, unfortunately, i... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @audioquest4life Thank you. Seems like the name has been lost in translation. See the Linlai website. There’s something not quite right about Viva when it comes to Linlai sales. There are reports that some of their tubes are noisy, they’re not ... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @danmar123 I know you didn't. Can you link me to the 6SN7 Globe? The name of the Linlai's I and others purchased are the Global E-6SN7. According to the manufacturer, Global is the series for international sales. China has a domestic brand. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I've done that by mistake with NOS and have never blown a tube or heard a bang, a pop, a sizzle.... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @rocray That's why I had to ask. You're probably right, the preamp circuit was still charged. You had me thinking the tube's filament was way too fragile. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @rocray So the tube didn't blow? | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @danmar123 I have been searching since you posted. I don't see any Linlai called the Globes. Do you mean the Global E-6SN7? | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Wait a sec. @rocray You pulled the tube, fine. What was the problem, installing it again while the amp was hot? | |
| Why are people paying these stupid tube prices? The Shunguang plant in China is not up and running yet. As a state-owned enterprise the government seized the property after a fire at the facility. I don't know at what stage the new factory is in, but we won't see their tubes soon. And with New... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes My amp uses 4 tubes in a cascode gain-stage. I have a pair of E-6SN7s in the front slots, 1940's Ken Rad VT-231 black glass behind and a Sylvania '53 GT as the driver. It sounds fantastic. The Linlai is very transparent but the K-R is colouring th... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes That'll work!! | |
| Cable curmudgeon Bell wire? I'd rather go with Bell Labs or Western Electric. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @danmar123 Set of four....E-6SN7's? Which dealer? My advice from earlier in the thread, clean the socket saver pins and inside wiring with Deoxit. | |
| Why are people paying these stupid tube prices? The two dealers mentioned above are included in what I would call price gouging. | |
| Why are people paying these stupid tube prices? Have you been following the latest news in tube world? Many dealers legitimately have supply chain issues which has caused price increases, others have used this situation to price gouge. There has been availability issues for NOS tubes for a coup... |
