What's been your experience with New Chinese 6SN7 tube options?

By all reports, there's been a good bit of movement of talent with the Chinese tube manufacturers.  Have you tried any of their offerings and in particular 6SN7 tubes?

These tubes could be my new favorite and make me abandon NOS.  Thank you everyone!

Running the Linlai 6SN7 in my Aric Audio preamp. They match or better many of the NOS tubes I have tried.  They are my "go to" tube for the Aric.

I've now also tried PSVANE's 6sn7 BE (blue globes).  These are somewhere near their middle of the range of tubes by price and offering.  They sound pretty darn good.  A good quality inexpensive (relatively) option.
