I am looking for a pair or a quad of KR Enterprise KT88.
Must be KR Enterprise KT88, NOT KR Audio KT88.
Anyone has tubes to sell?
Follow Ups:
They marketed and relabeled them for a brief period but Eunice Kron told me there is no money in making in KT88s because so many companies make that tube.
Honest amplification is better than excessive 2nd order distortion anytime.
At least this was the case way back while Dr. Kron was still alive. Can't say if any old KT-88 tube with a Tesla name on it will sound like the Kron labeled ones, but it's a start.
Yes
Tesla also made those expensive EAT tubes which were the same tube.

I try to get hold of a pair or a quad of the KR Enterprise KT88, not the KR Audio KT88.
As I understand they where made by Tesla and so should prove to be good tubes.
Anyone has tubes of the KR Enterprise KT88 to sell, please tell.
I have both the EAT KT88 Diamonds and KR Audio KT88's. They look identical in construction except for the base and tube height (KR Audio are a bit taller). I almost bought some Tesla KT88 Blue(later production) and white (early production) labels which look identical to the EAT KT88's. I never bought the Tesla's because both the EAT and KR Audio didn't last very long in my amp (25 - 40hrs) and they look the same between all 3 labels. I believe they are all the same tube.

Sold them for close to what I paid for them as they had a 'hard' sound to them, at least in my amp and to my ears.
KR Enterprise and KR Audio are the same Czeck (Prague) company. My understanding is that KR Enterprise is the equipment division and KR Audio is the tube division.
Have you seen a KT88 tube branded "KR Enterprise"?
KR tube distribution in the USA is nightmare. You have former distributors selling tubes and at last count, 2 others who claim to be the KR USA exclusive dealers.
