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

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.

After trying several combinations of the three 6SN97s in my AricAudio Transcend PP amp,the combo that sounds the best to me is the Linlai HiFi black plate in the input along with a Psvane CV181 T MKll  on each side. Best of both worlds:-) with the clarity of the Linlai and the touch of warmth from the Psvane.Done with tube rolling for a long time.
