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,

@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.

I've been running my Linlai elite tubes 24 hours a day since the 11th of may, except during a few thunderstorms. They don't get that hot in a preamp.

It's hard to tell the players without a scorecard. Can somebody remind me who's got the Global E-6SN7 and can we expect a comparison vs. the Chinese E-6SN7?
