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,

The tubes that’s are being sold at Grant Fidelity are very high quality.

@lowrider57 Well if they didnt acknowledge, then its hard to tell.  But the way its packaged, is quite identical to the Globals. My guess its manufactured for different markets.

@xcool  Does the Chinese letterings the Linlai website is referring to is the words on the box. Cause I dont see any Chinese letterings on the tubes of any of the versions brought to attention  so far.

Hi @ram18,  I went back and read the Lanlai Global website again.  Although they didn’t explicitly say where the Chinese logo are printed, but from the context of the writing, I take that it means the logo is on the tube itself. 

You are right about not seeing any Chinese writings on the tube itself, and I guess none of us has either   The fact that those tubes with the horizontal letterings are manufactured for the Asian markets is just a best guess, since Linlai Global would not acknowledge them  

 

@xcool  Tks for your thoughts. I was actually excited by these tubes, still am. But its somewhat disheartening to know there are various models out there and not a single authenticated piece which we all can chime on, considering they are  relatively pricey. Well at the end of the day, its how these tubes sound.  From my initial reading here, the ones with horizontal letterings seem to sound of quality, likewise the ones with vertical letterings,  not sure which is better. But if it is of quality to start off with, than its a good investment either way.  So am keeping my fingers crossed as I continue to burn in these tubes.
