Best Mods for a Mac-mini used as a Music Server

Questions about recording vimyl to computer?
For me, streaming is a no brainer. People complain because a service costs $15-20 a month. Are you kidding me? I used to spend sometimes hundreds a month on discs and vinyl for a few titles. Now for less than I paid for a single CD 30 years go I h... 
Questions about recording vimyl to computer?
Artemus, I understand where you are coming from .... a few thoughts. I have been repairing pro music gear for many years and have my doubts about the Peavey board. Not that it wasn't good for it's intended purpose, but is it a good option for this...

can any audio advantages be gained from this?I think to beat an entry level to mid price Pro Audio interface with Pure Vinyl you would have to spend a lot more on a phono stage. At some point pure analog without digitizing pulls ahead though. you ... 
Questions about recording vimyl to computer?
I’ve been doing this for a while now so have some recommendations. Look into Pro Audio interfaces, The Focusrite Scarlett 2 channel will do 24/192 and is relatively inexpensive . There are others. You can go up into the stratosphere from there. Ly...

Done selling on eBay, they are demanding my social security number to sell
I get the big picture, eBay wants and will get the seller fee that PayPal has been collecting. Must be a tremendous amount of $$$.It just flies all over me that they demand my SSN before they will allow me to sell. 
Done selling on eBay, they are demanding my social security number to sell
