How good is the ae3 djh?
I had a DJH for several years and loved it. It has a beautiful midrange with a classic Cary sound -- rich, lush, warm, yet balanced. It's transformer-coupled giving it great slam and a tight bottom end. It's rare to find a preamp in this price ran... 
Vintage Polk 10 b....2nd system, vinyl based...
30 some years ago, I had a pair of Polk Monitor 10 driven by a Harmon Kardon 60 watt integrated. They needed more power to rock out, but 60 watts was good for moderate listening levels. I'm sure they'd sing with 200 watts. They were nice sounding ... 
HDtracks Music Libary Software For Macs

What's up with that?
I agree with Mitch2. Just charge a flat fee for listing. Lose the percent fee. Problem solved.I miss being able to contact members outside the forums, but I'm not willing to pay an annual fee to do so.

Need an inexpensive phono stage
I second the Cambridge 640P. It's hard to beat in that price range.

Headless MacMini
Do I need to download an app to my iphone to control the mac mini with the phone?Yes. I recommend PocketCloud which is free. It's easy to set up and is very secure. 
Headless MacMini
This might be the simplest solution for shut down, but it requires a keyboard. If you press these four keys at the same time (Control-Option-Command-Eject), it will quit all apps and shut down the computer without any more interaction on your part...
