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

Also is the logo, vertical or horizontal? The way it looks for me , is that I should have mine by the end of the month.

Those look really good. Mine are Bakelite but don't say silver plated. Got mine on Ebay. The pins looked dull or tarnished so I cleaned well with Deoxit and got them shining.
