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,

@lowrider From what I have read, some do say black KRs have better bass. Great to hear these are outstanding tubes though. I recall you do have the Sylvanias too. Do you rate the KRs better? Tks for your impressions.

@ram18 -

     Those are the ones.

     The CKR, bottom-gettering and copper rods (at the top), are a dead giveaway.

      Be very careful about obtaining tubes rigorously tested/guaranteed for low noise, if they're going in a preamp.

@rodman99999  Tks. Glad to hear they are the same. These tubes are going to be plugged into my preamp. Not sure to have it at the gains or buffer stage yet. Tks for alerting on the testing part. Am new to tune rolling, so will be relying on my dealer to do the testing.

You're getting lots of views so the less intrepid tube geeks(me) wait to see how they work for you all over time before pulling the trigger:-) I need to try them now after following this thread.Right now the SS amp is in service for the summer, but will be ordering two come September. This thread has been great, very informative.
