@rocray  Happy for you! Enjoy the sonic bliss!

@lowrider57  and @rodman99999  tks for the reassurance. Yes I need to be patient to see through the break in.  Just that when I got the KRs I was expecting at least some change from the onset. Well I will run  the tubes further and see how it goes...

I just got my Ken Rad Vt231 black glass. Am  pairing it with my Linlais. I have the KRs on the buffer stage. Seems pretty ordinary to listen to right now. Havent felt the bass depth or  slam that is often associated with the KRs. Sounds  a bit war...

@audioquest4life Apparently Yes. If you go up the thread, there has been a lot of discussions about this. @danmar123  feels there is a difference. Some have found the non global Linlais pleasing. Others like @lowrider57 do not feel its up to mark....

@audioquest4life  May I check if the Linlais you were referring to as detailed are Linlai Globals with vertical letterings or Linlai E6sn7  with horizontal letterings as @lowrider57  has outlined. As you may have read in this chat, there are diffe...

@rodman99999  Tks for the link and details of looking out for hums. I have much to learn.

@rodman99999  The dealer stated test scores for the KRs are103/100  and 104/100. I guess these scores are allright from the little that I know. Am not too familiar with these readings.

@rodman99999  Tks. Glad to hear they are the same. These tubes are going to be plugged into my preamp. Not sure to have it at the gains or buffer stage yet. Tks for alerting on the testing part. Am new to tune rolling, so will be relying on my dea...

@lowrider From what I have read, some do say black KRs have better bass. Great to hear these are outstanding tubes though. I recall you do have the Sylvanias too. Do you rate the KRs better? Tks for your impressions.

@danmar123  Oh Great! Its cheaper here locally compared to US prices.

Hi All thanks for your impressions. Looks like the Ken Rad black plate stands up to its reviews based on your impressions.  @invalid  @danmar123 @rodman99999  I am actually getting my  KR black tubes locally here in Singapore.  Just wish o check  ...

@invalid Tks for sharing!  
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
After reading about how well the Ken Rad Vt 231s perform, am tempted to get these to match my Linlais at the buffer stage of my Freya +.  These are 6sn7s. Again there are two variations, clear glass and black glass. Is there any difference between...

@hollykumi Hi . I own a Schiit Freya + as well. Just wish to ask what tubes you felt matched well with the amp in terms of sound quality from your perspective. My speakers are Klipsch 6000f RP  by the way.  
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
@lowrider57  Tks for the clarification. Got that part on complimentary tubes. Well sorry the Chinese 6sn7s did not work out for you. @rocray and others have been seeing good results with the Chinese 6sn7s.  Possibly in your case the match may not ...
