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,

Ya, now I'll have to put those on my list. Like I said; the combo sounds better so I'm going to order a set Shuguang T first because they're going to be scarce soon.

I tried both the Linlai E-6sn7 and their less expensive Global Hi-Fi 6sn7 in my amps. I prefer the sound of the Global Hi-Fi version.
The bass is better on that one and the overall tonal balance seemed to be more neutral. The E-6sn7's seemed to accentuate the hi frequency spectrum at the expense of bass (the difference in sound of these tubes can be used to tune your system).

Can anyone comment on this?  With all the reviews I've seen on the Global Elite E version, this is the first I've read where it may "accentuate the hi frequency spectrum at the expense of bass". 

Also, has anyone tried the HiFi version or heard any other comparisons or comments about them?  I was getting close to ordering a pair of the Global Es, but low-mids and bass are very important to me so this stopped me in my tracks.

Thoughts anyone?

He may have been referring to the Chinese E-6SN7 and not the expensive Globals. I sent him a message asking which tube lacked bass.

Thanks, @lowrider57!  Please let us know if you hear back. 

This may make sense based on the info from @pindac on the last page. The Linlai Global website includes the following phrase describing the Global series:

...without exaggerating the ultra high frequencies (much of Asian music does focus more ultra high’s and Asian audiophiles are accustomed to such a type of sound).

This seems to hint that the Chinese domestic version could have a brighter tonality.
