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,

Does the global elite model sound any better than the global?  

I have an SLP-05 too, currently using Sylvania 50's GTA.  

Thanks.

When I first goy my SLP-05 I asked Cary if 1,2 and 4,5 need to be a matched quad. The answer was no, but they do need to be the same tube.

Meaning 1,2 need to be a matched pair and 4,5 also need to be a matched pair of the same tube brand and spec, just not a fully matched quad.

@avanti1960 , with my Don Sachs, there was a big difference in my system.
