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,

@decooney ,Glad to hear the Psvanes are working out. Would you say the TJ’s are bright in comparison,or just detailed? 

hI @rocray I sent you a private message with a scale regarding tubes both of us are familiar with.  No, TJFM are not bright in comparsion.  The PSVANES are little softer than TJFM with my preamp and setup.   

Update:  100+hrs on the PSVANE CV181-TII (6SN7s), opened up a little more past the 100 mark. Now neck and neck with TJ Full Music 6SN7s in the tone and detail department, still smooth though.  Now they sound more similar than different.  Very satisfied.   

Will let them play and maybe try and compare with Linlai later this year. Keep this thread going, looking forward to checking back every once in a while to see how others are doing with Linlai, other tube that may surface over the next year.   

@decooney, I’m curious how many hours before the Psvanes settle in for good.  As far as the Linlai’s, I had planned on doing a more substantial comparison with the KR’s,but I just can’t take the Linlai’s out of my preamp.  They sound that good to me. At some point I’ll do the comparison,but for now I’m just enjoying the music. 
 

Anyone else have any updates?
