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,

I've done that by mistake with NOS and have never blown a tube or heard a bang, a pop, a sizzle....

@rocray that is a shame. Didn't know it was possible to damage a tube this way. Know one has to be careful turning a big amp back on too quickly. Was also told one should never turn a preamp on/off with phono input selected. Thanks for the warning. Does your tube still have a warranty?

Thanks,

@lowrider57, that would be my luck to happen to me.

@aldnorab , I believe there is a warranty against defects, I don’t think stupidity is covered.

I know you didn't. Can you link me to the 6SN7 Globe?

The name of the Linlai's I and others purchased are the Global E-6SN7. According to the manufacturer, Global is the series for international sales. China has a domestic brand.
