My second pair of Linlai’s showed up today. They were ordered on 5/25. I have them playing now. This is an eye opener. ( or rather, ear opener). These sound so different than my well burned in pair. These are rather lifeless. Also,a much narrower soundstage. I know I heard these things the first time around, however,having just listened to the burned in pair, the difference is startling. At least I know what’s waiting for me! One thing,these are as dead silent as my first pair.
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

@rocray, amptata_audio’s tubes & are they the same exact tubes? Just curious. |
@danmar123, they are the same as the first pair,and yes, I ordered them from amptata_audio. Each tube has a serial number plate inside as well. The gift/display box was packed inside an outer box lined with foam. I know no one asked about packing,but I was once again impressed with the extra effort put in to trying to insure safe delivery. This delivery was 3 days quicker than the first. |
