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,

@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.

@rodman99999  The dealer stated test scores for the KRs are103/100  and 104/100. I guess these scores are allright from the little that I know. Am not too familiar with these readings.

@ram18 -

     Those figures would indicate tube strength/life and the balance between triode sections.      Nothing, regarding noise.

      There are various ways to test for microphonics/noise*.     My (personal) favorite procedure simply involves a high-gain circuit and earphones.
