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
Does this not confirm its the preamp or how the tubes are installed, or not fully seating? I am interested to read if the riser/adapters help this situation out or not. Also wondering how much the adapters will impact the sound. |
@decooney I would say it's his pre-amp. I'm using Altec 311-60 w/GP 902T driver & a B&C 250 driver for my tweeter. Very revealing! |
I'm not having issues with any other tubes. Just the Linlais. Tomorrow I will measure the pin diameters and compare. Then take the preamp apart and check for solder joint cracks. Then I may force the tubes in without the lid attached and support the PCB from the back side and see if the pins seat all the way. Then I will await the extenders. Or have a bourbon first.😌 |
@bugredmachine with your level of determination and persistence, you'll get it figured out. The bourbon idea sounds pretty darn good about now 🍾 |
