Linlai E 6sn7 tubes

So I finally ordered and received today one Linlia high (shouldered) for the input of my Aric Audio Transcend PP.Very impressive! Delicate and refined was my first impression. The separation of instruments is a little better and the soundstage a little deeper,maybe because it's just quieter than the NOS GE.This is only after a couple of hours. I think the bass is deeper but that may just be the better refinement. If the mids become a tiny bit warmer over time I would be even happier.

The following is my latest update in the quest for the correct Linlai to buy. I sold a pair of the E-6SN7's in the gift box on US Audiomart. The buyer bought them no questions asked and said they were a bargain at my asking price. In just a matter of days I received great feedback and an email from the buyer. He said the tubes sounded great in his Don Sachs preamp and they matched the stock pair he was using. 

This confirms that Don's components use the Chinese market Linlai. Initially I had purchased the E-6SN7's directly from Don's supplier who in one of our email conversations said "say hello to Mr. Don."

Even though the "non Global" pair didn't work out for me, these are obviously what Don is using to great effect in his preamps. With that said,  I would still like to hear the Global Elite E-6SN7 only available through Linlai and Grant Fidelity.

@lowrider57  In discussions with a vendor for Linlai tubes, I asked about the difference between the "Elite Tube" and the "Global Elite".  He told me Linlai only makes one tube in the Elite series.  Claims the "Global" is nothing more than branding added to the tube by the distributor for the North American market.  Has anyone seen any actual proof that is is not the case?  I find it had to believe Linlai has created two completly separate product lines.  The "marketing" ploy would seem more logical.  I'm thinking of buying some Linlai tubes and would love to have this issue cleared up before I do.  

I doubt that there is any difference, the global branded tubes might be screened a little better is all the difference would probably be if any.
