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

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

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

@audioquest4life  May I check if the Linlais you were referring to as detailed are Linlai Globals with vertical letterings or Linlai E6sn7  with horizontal letterings as @lowrider57  has outlined. As you may have read in this chat, there are different impressions between these two tubes.

"I have much to learn."

     Don’t let anyone snow you.

 We’re all (still) on the same curve!

                   Have fun!

I'll keep visiting the thread and gathering others assessments on the Tube comparisons and options to consider when the system is re-established and in use.

I also like the idea of using these Tube Types with adaptor sockets in place of

ECC 88's on other owned devices.
