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?
