Totem Model 1
Totem Model 1 sigs are awesome...I 2nd! They need a good sounding 100w per channel amp to make them really sing. Also, stands will be important, to make the most of this speaker. 
Cheap phono cable
I like the Nordost, but you don't have to spend that kind of money...Morrow Audio makes a wonderful sounding cable for around $150 or less maybe, (they sell used to) I am sure you would love them once they are broken in. I use a mix of Morrow IC's... 
dumb question, streaming music to a preamp?
You could attach a USB DAC like a AQ Dragonfly (that only provides a 1/8 inch output and no wireless). You touched on it yourself already. The SONOS is the way to go, it can be controlled by all devices including PC. I use Spotify with my Sonos an... 
Best solution
Most used or classic game stores will sell adapters to connect these older systems. 
How to hook sub to 2 channel syhstem
I 2nd the REL. Uses the SPKON cable direct from amp taps. Buy a upgraded cable from Signalcable.com much better than stock. 
Cartridge for Rega RP3 or RP6 in AN system
Correction Its a 2.5 mv Output which is still fine for 95% of MM phono stages.

Adam you spin a EXACT? so why are you telling him to get a $250.oo Nagaoka?

FABSOUND, The Dynavector 10X5 is a High output (4.0mv) MC that will work awesome with a MM phono stage. 
Cartridge for Rega RP3 or RP6 in AN system

Help me improve Rega P2
"There is not much you can do to improve the sound of your P2 for $300.00"NOT TRUE,JMG,Just change the bearing and sub platter system...This will make the table much quieter and will spin much more reliably. Lucky for you JMG, just go to Groovetra... 
Buying new vinyl?
You can buy some good quality albums at ELUSIVEDISC.com. Although I will say try and find ORIGINAL used records from garage sales , friends, family, also, Used book stores, or a record convention. Most stores are getting pricey but you can still b... 
SONOS CONNECT
Thanks all ....I got it to work by moving it to the room with my router and connected via cable...then during setup I was allowed to unplug and move it to another room...works awesome! 
Cartridge for Rega RP3 or RP6 in AN system
The REGA Exact is a great Cartridge and is NOT dull, in fact its the opposite of dull, lively,dynamic,punchy, great with rock and jazz. Also, for a little less money and an even better full range cartridge is the Dynavector 10X5 $450.00. This is a... 
Define power hungry...B&W speakers
I have always heard B&W's with big McIntosh solid state amps, makes sense now. Thanks for the info Bombaywalla. 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
