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,

Hey @rocray,  I'm very glad that you're liking the sound.  Like I said earlier, that's all that matters.   So my guess is that your tubes might be authentic Linlai tubes manufactured for the Asian markets.

I also think that the reason why Linlai Global wouldn't answer my question whether the tubes with the horizontal labelling is fake is that they are probably indeed manufactured by them for the Asian markets, but they wouldn't want to disclose that to their global customers outside of Asia.   Just a guess!

Thanks @danmar123,  that's very helpful.  Sorry, just to confirm, the tubes that you got from @bugredmachine are the "Global Linlai" tubes, correct?

I don’t understand why they would make a different tube for the world. Never heard of such a thing. 

Here’s the company listed on the boxes I received.

I noticed that they don’t show the E 6SN7.
