This was before the KT-120s came out.

BTW, my LP70S does not like KT88s at all; it really sounded much better with 6550s, and best with KT-120s, IMO.
In reading, it seems like the 6550's and KT-88's are the preferred tubes for this model (6550 being the originals). KT-88 perhaps the best for midrange but with some compromise in power output.
