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
@jtcf you wrote; I'm using just the one tube for the input on the Aric Audio Transcend PP.It's possible I might like them better by placing them on either side of the input tube and going back to the GE on the input. Maybe you will benefit by tube rolling. Let us know. |
@jtcf Hey! I would recommend you experiment with the Linlais on either side of the center 6SN7, as they are long-tailed pair phase splitters and indeed to impart quite a bit of their own character to the sound. The center tube is the voltage amplifier and as such amplifies the input signal, so even though it will have the MOST effect, it does not mean that trying in the phase splitter positions will not still provide a dramatic difference. How is the new amp working out for you by the way?
Best regards, Aric |
@aricaudio it's not exactly new,lol.I've had it for a few years now. It's the star of my system.I'll take both yours and danmar's advice and get another tube.I've already ordered a couple of larger size dampers to fool around with.Thanks for your help, and I'll let you all know how it goes. |
@jtcf Oops! My bad, for some reason I was thinking we had built an amp for you earlier this year. Sometimes I get the Agon monikers confused with the actual names of the customers. However I'm very glad that the amplifier is the star of the show in your system and thank you! Aric |
