I have to say that I’ve been confused about global, non global…… Last night I’m doing some listening,and whatever it’s worth,the Linlai’s that I currently run, sound better in my Motherlode II than any other tube I currently own. Now, I’m not saying that I have experience with 100’s of NOS tubes,and I am the ultimate expert. I am a relative novice in comparison to others that share their knowledge here. Other than the cathode material incident, these tubes have been silent, and give me a great textured, full spectrum response with a bigger soundstage than I have experienced before. However,we all hear,and desire something a little different. I mentioned earlier about the value about ordering from a reputable dealer vs ordering from an epay vendor. That,of course,still stands. As with most things in life,proceed with caution, and do what you are comfortable with.
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,
Ray

@danmar123 I may have missed out on a thread. Do they sound different? |
@ram18 Absolutely. The tubes that @bugredmachine sent me also sounded different, (made in China). No base, & Very open top end. @jayctoy I agree. We get what we pay for. I just don't like how my tubes presents the low end on my rig. Not as defined (Bloated) as my other tubes. That's why their up for sale. |
