Linlai E 6sn7 tubes

Has anyone ordered from Linlai direct? Their pic. of the tube has a solid base, but the drawing has the ring on the bottom as in the ones from Viva.

???????

The only authorized dealer for the US is grant fidelity, but I see most of the Chinese sellers on the web have the same tube, it just doesn't say Linlai global on the glass. The ones viva has do appear to be of a different internal construction.

I'll let everyone know tomorrow if there's a difference. I think @bugredmachine has ordered from both companies. Lets see what he says.

Treasure Globe 6SN7-SE (pair or single, GF Limited Special Edition) – Premium Vacuum Tubes

Maybe I got the last pair. On their way. Still waiting on my refund from Viva for the noisy E6SN7 pair. My email exchange with Rachel at GF was reassuring that they listen to the tubes with headphones to verify they are low noise, especially for preamp applications.

I've heard from those who have traveled the Psvane path that their globes are not as good as the Linlai globes.
