Linlai E 6sn7 tubes

Just to give a little scale to the Linlai’s. The tube on the left is a KenRad 6sn7gt black glass. You’ll need some room for the Linlai’s.

@rocray wow, they are big. They look like power tubes. Can't wait for mine to arrive. 

Thanks for providing the photo,

Thanks for posting the pic. Makes me wonder if using a socket saver will provide enough clearance between my input tubes.

I think that picture is helpful. One thing it seems to show is that this tube shares some characteristics with the well-regarded so-called Shuguang WE 6SN7 plus tubes that were around a couple years ago. They also were constructed with the tube structure positioned very high in the tube also. I have no idea how or why this might affect performance, but thought I'd mention it.

Does anyone make a horizontal off set 6sn7 to 6sn7 adapter? It would allow spacing tubes further apart on open top preamps. If not, it looks like a fairly simple DIY project.

Thanks,
