Hi @markusthenaimnut, Do you know if he’s sending them out with Elite E-6SN7? If so, that would make Supratek and Don Sachs sending their preamps out with Linlai’s. That speaks very well for the Linlai’s. I’ve been running mine for the last few weeks,and I keep waiting for the “honeymoon” period to end, but it’s not. I just can’t say enough how good these are working out for me.
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,
Ray

Mick responded to my emailed question by citing the worldwide shortage of new production tubes. In answer to my question about whether he thinks they sound particularly good he simply stated they sound about as good as any current production tubes. So, let's not over-interpret his use of them. Sounds like if he could get a reliable source of the Russian tubes he's used he'd go back to them without a second thought. This isn't to say that those who like these tubes are incorrect or that they're not better than other tubes. I think that's the purpose of this thread, is to collect the experience of those who are trying them out. |
My pre runs two 6SN7’s or two 6SL7’s, the separate power supply runs two OD3’s, and a 5U4,5U4G,or 5U4GB. Aric designs his preamps to be very tube friendly. I hope this helps @lowrider57. |
