Stepping into streaming, finally
@mahler123 No question about Wiim and Node being entry level and definitely going up the ladder will make improvements. I am sure all of us experienced it in our ladder climbing process. @hilde45 I was very much surprised how much improvements we...

The price I paid was $249 from EarMen web site. There is no WiFi connectivity with Stacatto.  
Best investment; cartridge or line stage?
@milo0812 What cartridge do you have? There is no Rega Aria cartridge.

"having gotten my significant other to agree to new speakers, I'm not going to pass on that opportunity" I do not think you would find anyone in this community disagreeing with your train of thoughts. Congratulation!

Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
@goodlistening64 at 1:06 it is clearly stated, also there is type of motor mentioned on Rega website P6 page. It seems that idiom "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink" is applicable here.  
Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary
@goodlistening64 "Rega cartridges do not require shims. VTA is not an issue with Rega for that fact and the cartridge sits square to the record." Again, why Rega has shims available for their tonearms?  "Can you provide me with a motor type and l...

"The PSU is the motor that drives the platter to go round. It can be inside the plinth or a separate gizmo as you called it." PSU stands for Power Supply Unit, it controls power to the electric motor which in case of Rega is mounted in the plinth...
