Linlai E 6sn7 tubes

I ordered the Linlai tubes suggested by Don from Helen in China, who informed me that there would be a delay in shipping.  Extra tubes in the closet are the way to go, like bullets in a magazine for a soldier: you can't have enough of them. 

@whitestix , I'm also waiting for an order from Helen. There's currently a Covid lockdown.

I have a stash of 24 middling NOS 6SN7 tubes including GE, Raytheon, etc tubes, which will get me though this pandemic. The new Chinese tubes are much preferred.  I got the stash of 6SN7's some years ago for $10-$20 a tube, all fully tested.

Great stash. @whitestix. I am very curious to hear your impressions of the Linlai’s. For me, these are wonderful tubes. I was considering getting an extra set, however,I’m going to try and wait to see what the Western Electric 6sn7 will be priced at. I don’t have a huge stash of tubes,but I’m pretty sure I have enough for my lifetime.  One of the many great things about Aric’s Motherlode II is you can also run 6SL7’s also.
