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,

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

Thanks, I remember the separate PS. I wanted to know how many tubes are in the gain stage. With only 2 6SN7GT's the Linlai's have a significant effect on your sonic signature. You're certainly capable of hearing all these tubes have to offer.

Does it make sense to try Linlai 6SL7s? 

@lowrider57, It probably doesn’t make sense, but I’ll probably do it anyway.  I run some low gain amps, sometimes I like to try a tube that is capable of a little added gain.  With my limited experience,I’ve noticed that 6SL7 also provides a different sonic signature.  I’m not 100% sold on the 6SL7 Elite, for the fact I’m still very curious about the upcoming Western Electric 6SN7.  The gentleman over at SH forum has been testing a pair,and speaks very highly of them.  He was not at liberty to discuss price point,but he did say they would be releasing them in September.  That’s a long time to wait……..

Yes, the guy who is beta-testing the WE’s has been posting his findings for awhile.) I wonder if he’s supposed to be talking about them). He can’t be the only one with those tubes, if there are any others they’ve been keeping quiet.

And I’m waiting with baited breath as well.
