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,

I haven't read the full article yet, but the pic on top of page shows the Linlai (looks like E-6SN7) with logo and ridge on silver base.

@lowrider57  Think  I  will stick  with the horizontal lettering Linlai Tubes. Based on impressions here it sounds pretty good even compared to the PSVanes as well as your review. And the price differential compared to the vertical lettering tubes is signifcant.  The horizontal lettering  tubes  are $250 (no shipping cost as I can get it here)  and vertical lettering tubes are $365 ( without  shipping cost) based on my local currency. Interesting to know there are variations out there but as @rah50  has commented, dont think they are fakes.  Based on how they are packaged and the TM or R indications, they seem to be both originals just catered to different markets.

Sounds like a plan. The Globals are very expensive, I'm looking forward to the comparative analysis of both tubes.

I've given up on my conspiracy theories and believe you and the others are correct. No greymarket tubes, both Linlai types are genuine and are manufactured for Chinese domestic and international markets.
