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,

@rocray WOW! The Sylvania 6by5 rectifier is also 4" tall. Luckily the linestage has tubes on the top instead of in a box. Thanks for the measurements. Was going to space the Salamander rack shelves further apart anyway. 

@lowrider57 thanks for the tube profiles. They are the only 6SN7 I have, and had no idea where they stood sonically. It will be interesting to hear the comparison.

Thanks,

I did get mine off of flea bay. I searched for a seller with 100% positive feedback. Unfortunately,that seller is out of stock. I know a lot of you are hesitant to buy there. AliExpress has a bunch of sellers with plenty in stock. None have 100% positive feedback.  I figured I was safer with epay and using PP,if something went south. It was 18 days from the date of purchase to my front door. 

One thing that is definitely noticeable immediately,is these are really quiet tubes.
