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,

Don’t get me wrong.  The purchase of the Psvane 6SN7-BE has nothing to do with not being happy with the performance of the Linlai’s,and everything to do with something new and shiny.

What's the difference between your 6SN7BE and a 6SN7-SE?

And did you purchase from China or a US dealer?

I purchased them used on usaudiomart. Other than the blue glass,I have no idea what the difference is. Sonically,I have no idea what to expect. This was an impulse buy. They look cool. No other reason.

It’s what we do. We try stuff, and compare. It’s fun.

Some consider it cheap therapy too :)
