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,

@invalid if so. the ones I'll get tomorrow their going rite back.

I called Viva this morning and left a message for them to call me. If I don't hear from the by the end of the day, their going BACK! 

I have purchased mine from an eBay  vendor from China. I don’t want to offer advertising on the forums. PM me and I will be more than happy to share. I just don’t want to come across as anything other than a hobbyist. This I will share,when I first purchased from this vendor,they had 100% positive feedback.  It has since dropped.  I did however,purchase the new pair from them. 

Grant Fidelity are sold out. I put myself on there waiting list, if the Viva tubes aren't legit. Also Linlai website states, 6 /9 working days for delivery. Which isn't bad.

I am with you there too. I am expecting a pair of the Linlai E 6SN7s tomorrow as well. Will see what they look like when I receive them. Based on comments so far, not to optimistic that they will in fact be the real Global Elite series as the Viva ones say Globe, not Global on the tube. 

What is Vivas tube return policy?
