Awesome. Are you using the Saga as a switcher & preamp into the Kingko?

Yep! I was previously using a standard Loki and a SYS passive pre-amp, but I really missed having a remote control for volume/mute, so I upgraded both. Pretty happy.

I've been thinking about picking up the Lokius mostly to use with my CD player, how do you like it?

No complaints. I liked the Loki Mini as well; it helped smooth out a couple of room quirks without having to go full digital correction. The Lokius is the same deal, just more granular. I spun a few records to get it dialed in, pretty happy with it.
If you're morally opposed to tone controls its not going to change your mind, but I'm fond of it.

LOL, I've never really understood the opposition to an EQ based on the arguments given. If you don't want one that's fine, but if you're willing to move your speakers around, get room treatments, dampen this that and the other thing to get just the right sound you're looking for.............why not an EQ
It's never been a make or break for me, if the tone controls are there, fine, if not, that's fine too. Being at the end of my big swaps and everything being as dialed in as it's gonna get, and acknowledging that every record is not balanced the same tonally, the little EQ tweaks can go a long way on some pressings.

It’s true. For example, moving a speaker closer to a wall, what are we doing there? We’re increasing low end. Isn’t that just an EQ move?

Might as well put a BT transmitter on your deck.

I saw it on Craigslist which I'd normally avoid, but it was from this retired guy whose hobby is fixing up vintage gear. He doesn't normally sell anything, just does it for himself, but needed to make space because his wife asked him to downsize a few things. Specifically he's focused on reel-to-reel (has over 20 that I saw) and had an insane set up in his basement and a very nice one in his living room. He said he has over a thousand reels he's collected over 40 years. Lots of fun to chat with and see all his gear when I went to check out the NAD.I love those old NAD amps. Hell, I love some of the new ones too.

She's got a Jordans wall and a TT?!
That's sick. I want that room.

Yeah, just got that shelving from Ikea. Worked out great, better than I thought it would. Coulda done without her getting interested in the shoes, but only has a couple pairs she got for birthdays/christmas. Does a great job of taking care of her stuff.
Maybe got myself a 1 x 4 Kallax while there. Lady told me I needed more storage, but then told me I should probably quit buying records. I'm not good with mixed messages so just went with the first part.
