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 2 Linlai's are very noisy so they are coming out. High level of hiss can be heard at my chair and over the top of music. So I guess I received a bad pair from China.

@bugredmachine , Do they have a return policy?  That really stinks!

We'll see. I bought them through Ebay and sent them a note.

How were they packaged? In the nice display case or in 2 standard tube boxes? I received damaged tubes in the thin paper tube boxes.
