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,

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".

The name in the lower right corner is actually the full name of the Linlai company.

@lowrider57 Thanks for the encouragement.

Now this recent thread is rather interesting. First, I realised I need to add socket savers to to fit the Linlais in my Freya+. And now there seems to be two different Linlai models? Gosh!  These Linlais better be good.   My local distributor here is offering the Linlais as pictured by @rocray  (gift box) and the tube on the left he featured earlier in one of the pics shared.

My local dealer's Linlai  photo link is here https://www.carousell.sg/p/linlai-e-6sn7-vacuum-tube-1082058805/photos/ ( Sorry dont know how to post pics here directly)

Now am confused. Are the Linlais posted in the link above, the Asian version or Western version.  There are no Chinese Letterings on the tube. The logo is vertical at the base.   It has R registered label on the tube. The box says its from a Chinese company with Chinese letterings and the insert has Chinese letterings as well exactly what @rocray  gift box is. May I know what do I make of this?   I hope they are not fake. 

I am quite amazed how this forum is deeply observant and analytical. Never knew of the two variations in the Linlais. Some really good watchful expertise here. Am learning a lot. Thanks.

Appreciate your views.
