Best player for Spotify
I use a Denon HEOS Link to stream Spotify, and use its digital output to drive an external DAC.  The internal DAC in the HEOS Link is pretty decent too. 
analog to digital conversion
I'm using a Tascam DR-22WL recorder, records to WAV files.  Then I clean up and convert to FLAC with Audacity.  Results are pretty good, I don't hear much difference between playing the LP and listening to the FLAC file.Turntable is a Rega Planar ... 
Can anyone compare the Klout vs. the 2250 Amp.
You might want to post this question on the Linn forum here:http://forums.linn.co.uk/bb/I am using a Kairn/LK280 combination. I haven't heard either the Klout or 2250 but I know the Klout has a good reputation. I wouldn't mind upgrading my LK280 t... 
Want to upgrade my Adcom GFP 565 preamplifier
I bought a used Linn Kairn preamp here on Audiogon, it is a very good sounding preamp in my opinion, a little hard to find but they show up here from time to time. 
Tonearm for rega Planar 3
I just replaced the S-shaped RB200 on my Planar 2 with a Moth MK3 (OEM RB300). This arm had the CCM counterweight installed. It is a very nice arm, good sounding and a pleasure to use. I can certainly recommend it. 
Dynavector 10x5 or Ortofon 2M Blue
I haven't heard the 10x5, although it seems to have a good reputation with Rega arms.I've been listening this morning to a new 2M Blue on my Rega Planar 2 (RB200 replaced with an RB300 arm). The cartridge has about 10 hours on it and seems to be b... 
Which DAC would fit me best?
I'm using the DAC in a Behringer DEQ2496 (I also use it for room correction), and the same DAC is available in the SRC2496 (whcih I am also using) for $200 new in the US. It does require use of balanced XLR to unbalanced RCA adapters since it is a... 
Old Style Rega Arms
I got the RB300 and it dropped right in. And in fact the mounting nut from the RB200 fit the threads on the RB300, it was a perfect fit. 
Old Style Rega Arms
I have read that they are compatible. I'm planning on replacing the S-shaped arm on my old Planar 2 with an RB300 in the next few days when it arrives in the mail. One thing I found was the mounting hole for the S-shaped arm is 25mm and the newer ... 
Issue with Phono Playback.
By 'snow', I take it you mean you hear a slight hissing or white-noise sound. This is the noise level of the headphone amplifier in the Sony receiver. A better quality headphone amplifier would have less or none of this noise. But it is not terrib... 
Need help leveling a Rega P25
I recently leveled my Planar 2 by using a thin adhesive felt sheet, cutting a long strip a little wider than the rubber foot and folding it over on itself the proper number of times to get the right thickness. The adhesive keeps it stuck together ...

Phono preamp advice please, newbie to TT
I'm not an expert in the area of MC cartridges, but if I were to acquire a good MC cartridge, one phono preamp I would want to audition is the Linn Linto.
