Description

How is this ‘WE211 by LINLAI’ different from Psvane WE211? 

In short answer: There is NO difference. They are 100%, 1:1 identical, visually and electronically.

Who is LINLAI? 

LINLAI is a brand name, and it is a phrase taken from an ancient Chinese poem praising the ‘beauty of music’.

LINLAI is a trademark belong to a NEW tube factory in China – formed by a team of engineers who exit Psvane in 2017.

LINLAI WE211 replica tubes are made according to the exact same blueprint, with materials from the same suppliers as before. NOTHING IS CHANGED.

Special Note: The very early batch of LINLAI tubes were printed with a brand called ‘NATURE SOUND’. Later on it turned out that the trademark had been used and registered by an un-related business, so it cannot be legally used anymore.

We do NOT have stock of any ‘NATURE SOUND’ tubes. Early batches from a new tube factory could be of uneven quality while the production lines are being commissioned to perfection. We have waited till quality stabilized to carry the current.

Substitution of all Chinese 211 tubes: 

Users should follow your amp manufacturer’s suggestion in tube substitution and bias adjustment to ensure safe use of high voltage 211 tubes. Nearly all new production 211 amps do come with Chinese entry level 211 tubes as stock tubes – which can be replaced by this ‘Linlai™ Global WE211’.

Measurement: (in mm)

Below is the size measurement of the WE211 tube – there is a glass tip on top of WE211 tube, so please take into account of the overall height if your amp has a tube cover. In terms of glass enclosure diameter, it is of same diameter as Shuguang 211 tubes (the most widely used 211 tubes in new production 211 tube amplifiers).
