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

Did you buy your Linlai elite 6sl7 from Linlai website? Only they and Grant Fidelity sell the premium tubes

Thanks for the link Dan. I’m sure buying these from China,vs a well established North American dealer has a certain amount of risk attached to it.   I see the value in buying from a dealer.  Logistics, they are tested and matched. The latter eliminates the main risk of quality issues.  If you were to have issues,you would receive much faster service.  Days vs weeks,

I bought mine from hifi amplifiers, they came with a measurement sheet, I've been running them 24/7 since the 11th of may.

Alright, I’ve rolled for 2hours this morning.

Linlai with the following: NOS K/R, NOS Sylvania, NOS Tong Sol, Shuguang & Psvane Treasures. To my taste the Ken Rads sounded the best of the combos. I’m not going to keep the Linlai’s. So if anyone is interested, I have 4 for sale. 2 w/ 113hrs. & 2 w/ 100 hrs. PM me, & I get them out on Monday!
