Linlai E 6sn7 tubes

@rocray , I just went there and saw a few pairs listed. Globe Balloons and Black plate pairs listed, both. Could be sporadic supply or them playing games making it look like they are low inventory to get people to buy "last few pairs" each day.  Two things to try.  Weird pricing stuff going on with some of the quads of power tubes I use and Viva is now marking up 2x-4x on some quads too.  Clear your cache / clear history on your computer browser in case its showing an old page not refreshed, and/or call them tomorrow on the phone and see what matched pairs they really have in stock.  Let us know what the scoop of the day is now :)

Sorry to hear about the incident with the Tube, I had a Russian 6SN7 equivalent start out as the most likeable addition, and after about 45 minutes become the most distorted and worrying tube ever used, worse than fluff on a Stylus.

I was panicking I had not caused a further damage on the circuit.

Thank you. Seems like the name has been lost in translation. See the Linlai website.

There’s something not quite right about Viva when it comes to Linlai sales. There are reports that some of their tubes are noisy, they’re not using the same nomenclature as Grant Fidelity or Linlai.

And isn't this tube called a Globe?

@lowrider57 

Yes, you are right. I just compared the Viva tubes with the Linlai website and they appear to be two different tubes. Hmm, something is not quite right for sure. Did you order any from Grant or Viva? The Viva web site says Globe and not Global as well which makes we wonder if I should have ordered from Grant. Any community  feedback from Grant Linlai 6SN7 tubes use, quality, etc. 

Grant Fidelity shows the Linlai 6SN7 Global Elite now sold out.
