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
@ram18 -
Has your system, as it now is configured (talking about components, speakers and room) ever produced the kind of Bass depth and slam, that you are attempting to achieve (or: recapture), with your tube changes? If you've already discussed that, elsewhere in the thread: my apologies. |
@lowrider57 and @rodman99999 tks for the reassurance. Yes I need to be patient to see through the break in. Just that when I got the KRs I was expecting at least some change from the onset. Well I will run the tubes further and see how it goes. @rodman99999 No worries. Yes I have had pretty good bass depth and slam before in my system especially in solid state. Even with prior tubes, bass wise (not as good as solid state) but the tightness and depth was somewhat there; not as good as I wanted having been used to my solid state bass production, but pretty decent. Slam was allright too. So naturally, I can feel the difference.

Thursday evening, I put my original pair of Elite 6SN7 back in my preamp. The back up pair has well over 100 hours on them, and I wanted to see if they stack up to the pair that grabbed my attention. The answer is yes. Both pair add magic to my system. I’m not saying I will never purchase NOS tubes in the future, but I will probably be a little hesitant. The Linlai’s just work well in my system. Highs are detailed but not in my face, mids are addictive, and bass is full and tight. Everything I could ask for. |
@rocray Happy for you! Enjoy the sonic bliss! |
