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,

@lowrider57 Like I said earlier; the tubes from China sounded better then the tubes from Viva, in my system.

Maybe they are grey market, all indications are they are meant to be sold to the West.

Also interesting that tubes on your link to factory have Linlai (TM), Trademark. My tubes with horizontal wording has (R), meaning registered.

It bothers me that Linlai did not mention the horizontal branded tubes. They said Global have the vertical logo and domestic market is written in Chinese.

All the Linlai elite 6sn7 tubes I’ve seen pictures of look identical besides the logo on the glass, except the ones from viva tubes the internal structure looks different in the pictures.
