In these amps, there is no difference between the KT88 and KT120. No more headroom either, just wasted money on the KT120.
You might do better though, if some changes are made to the inferior, and quite dangerous power inlet.
I see VTA still uses Dynacos old way of wiring the fuse and crappy power switch, and the two prong cheapo power cord.
I've seen two examples of these amps in a month, and both had very live chassis, and one had a burnt power switch.
