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 US-sourced pair hiss as well.

 

Where are you buying your tubes? I bought the 2nd set from VivaTubes.

@danmar123 . Had to stagger mine. Distance between front & back row is less than side to side. So I have left front and right rear on two socket savers each. That barely clears on my linestage. On another forum a man has offered to make custom adapters. They would be a socket and plug with space in between to "extend" the tube sockets further apart. There is plenty of real estate to spread tubes out on top of the linestage. Won’t pursue that until I decide if the Quad Linlai are my favorite setup.

Thanks,
