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,

Danmar123, I think I also emailed them, I also bought 61np from them Vivatubes.comTo be fair they ship fast. But if I were to buy tubes I will buy from Grant Fidelity, I believe they listen to their tube and their tube quality is next to none. Pricey sure ? But you will get high quality tube.

@jayctoy I been buying from Viva for years, that's why I went & purchased the 6sn7 from them. The tubes they sent me, did not look, or have the same sound signature like the one's from Grant Fidelity or China. ''First hand experience''. Viva received them today & refunded my monies in full. I'm sure I'll be dealing with them again, unless I'm on their BLACK LIST....

@danmar123 

Yours is a difficult situation to figure out. Could your tubes have been for the Chinese market, or grey market US? We'll probably never know. 

@lowrider57 the tubes I had were from ''bugredmachine''. I tested them for him. If you go back to one of my posts, I said, they made my Ortho Black open up. If I remember correct, they where from Linlai. Hopefully I'll receive my tubes in a few weeks..... Any day now, any day!

@danmar123 

I remember you testing his tubes.

But this order was yours, yes?
