I just got a Saga+, wanted something passive that gave me remote volume control. I get enough tubiness from the KingKo, I think.

Did you get them through the recent sale?

The Lokius was on sale, the Saga+ was retail.
Legit.
My electric bill shows both the current month and the same month last year. The only significant change electricity wise has been the amp. I was shocked.
The difference is been consistent month after month since the Prima Luna left and the NAD arrived.

My one year old took out my AT LP-60 so it is time for an upgrade. I am trying to get powered speaker/turntable combo for at or under $1000
Time to start researching and shopping!

Which should leave a little change for an RCA cable and a set of speaker wires.
Yeah the tubes noticeably increased my energy bills. But the single PrimaLuna is noticeably less than the dual mono quads. So that’s kind of a win?

Thankfully the KingKo does not drive as hard as something like the PrimaLuna. I have an easier time making excuses for it.

@Joe Mac @Jonathan Y would this be better since it had a phono included and is in stock?

You could then do an Orbit custom and drop the Pluto preamp and upgrade the cart.

Did I pick one without a phono? That wasn’t intentional lol! So yes, you are right. Because I thought I had picked an orbit without a Pluto and a NAD with a phono…

Details, details.
I was half right $330 is the orbit plus without the Pluto. But yeah I thought all the NAD 316 had Phonos so just clicked the cheapest. Rookie mistake!
