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.

Tesla also made those expensive EAT tubes which were the same tube.
Honest amplification is better than excessive 2nd order distortion anytime.
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.
