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,

    Ray

Has anyone experience the lack of low end in the tubes with your set up's?

From what I observed,these tubes took at least 50 hours to start to open up. These were kind of impact free on all levels at first. After having well over 200 hours at this point,these are very full frequency tubes in my system,

@rocray , the reason I'm asking is because of how the tubes make my Orthofon sing. I ordered a SME spacer for my Hana ML. which I will alternate on my TT. I WILL order 2 set's soon, just would have to get the info from @aldnorab for the socket board.

@bugredmachine 

Your tubes are defective, no new tube should produce the noise you're experiencing. Give up on them and return.

This info hasn't been updated but it states who aren't authorised dealers.

@lowrider57 I have a set that I’ve tested for @bugredmachine & there’s no problem with those tubes. It has to be something in his system that’s rejecting them.
