Tubes bearing [LINLAI™ Global] logo are engineered, produced and carefully screened to exclusively meet western music listeners’ preference:

1) Aim to high degree of faithful reproduction of western music instruments, such as piano, acoustic and electric guitar, acoustic and electric bass / double bass, kick drums etc, which are common in western recordings but not as common in Asian music;

2) Create live-like sound image width and depth, and offer realistic balance across high, mid and bass frequencies, without exaggerating the ultra high frequencies (much of Asian music does focus more ultra high’s and Asian audiophiles are accustomed to such a type of sound).

The team of LINLAI™ is led by the ex-VP Production of Psvane tube factory, Mr. S. J. Li. He is a Chinese navy veteran, now in his mid 40s but with decades of experience with vacuum tubes.

Li joined Chinese army at age of 18 and spent his military years in the Navy Fleet Missile Division in Northern China, a region that was, and still is, highly critical for China’s military defense for the Capital Region of Beijing. Li learnt his knowledge of vacuum tubes since then, because many Chinese military defense system during that time used vacuum tubes, and the navy missile division got the best quality vacuum tube supply from all over the world, including Europe, USA and then USSR.

With his military background, Li is well known to have a strict ‘no-nonsense management style’. It is a highly sought after skill in the complex vacuum tube production management – which many manual tasks are involved and quality control process is multi-dimensional. Li had been spearheading production for Shuguang tube factory, Guiguang tube factory (later bought out by Psvane), Psvane tube factory throughout his career, and now proudly running his own tube brand & factory – LINLAI™, in Changsha City, China. He took along a group of loyal followers from both Shuguang and Psvane and they share the spirit of entrepreneurship together. Li is also the key personnel involved in Psvane’s acquisition of TJ Full Music’s small signal tube production line after TJ Full Music founder passed away in his 80s.
