Linlai E 6sn7 tubes

“I’m back to my reference uncolored Russian military tubes.”

Same here. After using the Linlai for a few weeks with about 100 plus hours, I am back to using the Russian tubes that were OEM in my phono stage when bought new. The Linlai sounded very detailed, but I felt as if I had a solid state sound versus a tube sound to me when using the Linlai 6SN7. I just could not get past this attribute with the Linlai when used in my system. Perhaps good for someone’s system lacking details. These were sourced from Viva. This has been an experiment for me. After all, this hobby is pretty much about experimenting until you get the right combination of ingredients which sounds right to you.

     I've always viewed the hobby as an amalgam of science, art and cooking.

     The first always depends on an individual's favorite theories, education and understanding, regarding electricity.

                                  The other two, of course: one's palate.

I am visiting this page as a result of the selection of comparisons that are referring to the E 6SN7 being a comparable match to the KR 6SN7.

I have tube rolled the 6SN7 as a input tube on a 845 Mono Block  Power Amp, out of three vintage tubes, four modern tubes and a 68HC the Black Glass KR was very attractive and the preferred tube.

The E6SN7 is on my radar as a result of favourable comparisons being reported on to the KR Tube.   

The earlier reference to 845 Tubes has been well received.  

Will these fit in the Hifiman Shangri-La Jr system?

Not the E-6SN7. That's for the Chinese market.

These are the only two dealers for the Global Elite...
