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,

Wig,

This is the contact information for Helen, Don Sachs' preferred source for the Linlai tubes: https://vivatubes.com

This is the supplier I got from Don Sachs for the Linlai tubes:  helen@jjyaudio.com I can't find a link to JJAudio.  

Thanks guys,

I have a stash of NOS tubes as well and Psvane, CV 181, Sophia and really liked the WE and have ordered a set of Linlai from Helen. Looking forward on hearing them...

Knowing that Don Sachs uses and recommends the Linlai’s,was the last push I needed to try them.  I have never heard a DS preamp.  I’ve done a lot of reading, and the only downside I’ve read, is the long wait to get one built.  If I understand correctly, if you deal with Helen, make sure you specify no “gift” box.  That will lower the price I’ve been told.
