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,

@pindac, I’m not sure I understand the question.  If you are asking about which 6SN7 Linlai to try,I only have experience with the Elite E-6SN7. Any other Linlai version I can’t say,because I haven’t experienced them. The E-6SN7 does,at least from my experience,need about 100 hours of burn in to really hit stride.  
   I also want to state again, that these observations were in my gear,in my listening room,with my ears. I never want to come off sounding like I have the definitive ear in all things. ;-)  

From the Report I would say I am influenced to try a E-6SN7 and give the KR a breather for a 100+ Hours before seeing how the comparison works out in my system.

Until discovering this thread I was set on trying out Linlai 845's as I thought I was finished with input tubes selections on the Power Amp'.

The idea of having the KR and E-6SN7 on board to be used along with the exchanged 845's does seem to be a improved preparation.   

It appears the Psvane 6SN7 blue globes will be delivered today.  I won’t get to hear them until this evening. I purchased these used with about 80 hours on them,so I won’t have to run them for days on end to burn them in.   I have no idea what to expect.  This should be interesting. 

I have my Linlai running for about 100 hours now. Compared to Tung Sol 6SN7 from Upscale they produce better clarity and bass. A good upgrade for the money and they look great.
