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,

Thanks for the great link @decooney. Much appreciated. Trying things out for oneself is really the only way to know what works for you. Gear,room,ears,tastes all play a very important part.  

Thanks decooney, lots of good info at Head-Fi.

I've had Funn Chen at Chinese restaurants. It's a tasty noodle dish.

The Head-Fi link is very informative. Chinese politics is very concerning as stated with the Psvane company. I wonder about the future of Linlai, President Xi Jinping does not want companies to be independent anymore. However, it might not affect a small business like Linlai.

If the resurrected WE Co could get serious and not overly greedy on price, make a bunch of different quality tubes, and then sell them to diehards like us.

I think Ralph was exposed to them when i convinced him to install them into the MP-1 Mk3.3 for my client. Which is now up for sale.

 

They were tested properly here for a good 2 weeks and showed allot of pontial, it sounded better than any other new production 6SN7 i have tried in the past. Exellent and 4 managed to fit into the MP-1 and so far have been excellent and low noise.
