What was the Techy CDP again which was designed to partner the SL-1210? It was a massive thing, that looked like no other CDP, and which I believe was also used for broadcasting purposes?
I think David Price reviewed it once in HFW. It also had one of those 'Jog-Shuttle' dial thingies...
I'd love one of those, as I reckon with some judicious tweaking from Audiocom, it would sound fab!

'SL-P1200'/'SL-P1300'
The one i have pictured above has the shuttle control. If these machines carry the DAC chips i think they do there is an up to date drop in replacement available

Yep, sure does. That's what reminded me of the 'SL-P1200'.
I reckon the SL-P1200 would be a phenomenal sounding machine, and I love the looks! See if you can find a nice piccy of one for me - gotta pop out for a bit

Makes sense - my old Pioneer PD-91 had BB DACs and sounded superb.
