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,

That’s great news @danmar123.  I'm really curious about your impressions.  I’ve got about 50 hrs on the new pair.  They are definitely starting to fill in.  I’m running them about 14 or so hours a day, minus last weekend.  

Great news Ray. I plan to connect the Don Sachs to my Pioneer for 24 hr break in, with spiritic changes to My Prima Luna. I should have made a deal with @bugredmachine for his tubes.   

@rocray  Just curious how do you run your tubes for 14 hours straight? Doesnt  your amp heat up considerably? 

Hi @ram18,

 I keep the ceiling fan on,and I have a small computer fan I have aimed at the amp. It keeps the heat under control.
