It seems the Elites have been flying under the radar for a while. I’m hoping durability matches their sonics. I haven’t seen much on long term reviews. @aricaudio, do you have any insight?
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

I purchased some of the Linlai E-6SN7s from Mable Audio last year. They arrived really quickly and in good shape. http://www.mableaudio.com/en/productview.asp?sid=10229 |
@rocray I haven't had an opportunity to put more than 200 hours on 2 sets of the Elites as I was only burning them for customers to send with their preamps. However, out of all of the Linlai tubes I've tested and used (more extensively were there DG series 845s, Elite 2A3s and baseline 5U4Gs), I have not heard a tic, pop, or any other anamoly whatsoever. This is out of well over a dozen pairs tried. I cannot say the same for many of the top tier PsVane tubes I've used, and that's all I'll say about the PsVanes with the exception of their ACME 211s. I hope this helps, Aric |
@aricaudio,Thanks for the info. @markusthenaimnut, I have no personal comparison with the WE 6SN7 plus,but the gentleman that recommended the Linlai’s,has the WE’s also. He stated that the WE Plus,was the best of the bunch. The Linlai’s were a close second. I will also add the Elite E6sn7 are dead quiet. |
