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

@lowrider57 Like I said; when I receive my tubes it should help clear things up....

That makes sense Dan. I'm extremely frustrated as I'm listening to these unknown tubes which sound fantastic.

All 4 of my tubes, purchased within the last 2 months, have the vertical Linlai.

2 came from Grant Fidelity in plain tube boxes.

2 came from China, eBay seller kt88_6550, in a gift box. Their picture of tubes and box was overlaid with signage that said "Linlai Store".
