Thanks Yorkshireman.
If ever you do audition (to hear if you can detect SQ differences), it’s worth including a simple NAS music server as well to see if your ears detect differences.
Some on the forum favour the music served by a NAS (using UPnP software like Minim or Asset), whilst there are others who prefer the sound served from a different server (Melco, Innuos, Core, etc.). Only an audition will tell you which you prefer, and therefore if whatever solution you favour is good value. YMMV - as they say…

How old’s old Tony ?, my dad has just bought himself a new SL 1200 and his current cd player is a Marantz CD63 Mk ll signature

Around 10/15 years ago, I think. I had several 1200s but Technics hit the right sport with the mk2. The Marantz Ki is a very special player indeed!

On my Melco I prefer Twonky over Minim… test both of them.
Nice setup 
I have exactly the same speakers as yours - SR3 signature in white 
Cheers,

Continuing the discussion from System Pics 2020:
Hi Kacper,
Thanks. I only have the SR 3 Super ones at the moment, yours are next ones up. I am thinking of upgrading them to the Avantgarde ones possibly.
Some more Audiovector, Si3 Avantgarde.
Almost same old system. A new NDX 2 replaces the MacMini + DAC V1 combo.
The burn in of the NDX 2 in progress… Sounds lovely most of the time though.

That would be a nice step forward especially now with the new R serie. 
Cheers,
Kacper

Pretty much all change this year with the speakers, Gold note A6, the latest addition and a very fine addition at that.

The Technics 1210. I was at Hull uni around the turn of the millennium and volunteered with the ‘Technical committee’ - we had a monster 20,000 watt PA system that we set up for DJs and live bands. We had four 1210s that took a regular hammering at the hands of many a DJ and I don’t remember any issues in the three years I was involved - very fit for purpose.

Crap, I was just looking at and reading about that Technics TT, and it disappeared! 
I was just editing, Mark! Apologies
No worries Tony - it was pretty funny, really.
Apologies to Mark, here is the deck back on. The more subdued SL 150 and an SME arm. I also had an SL 7 among others. I have always been a great admirer of the simplicity and robustness of their decks. Apologies once again.

I can’t recall the exact model, but that looks very much like one of my first Technics TTs form the 70s or 80s. I believe I had an SL-23 also (?). But those controls look exactly as I recall one of mine.

After the success of the DD tables, Technics released a load of belt driven TTs.
Not sure of date of release but the SL 23 was one of them. Competition was fierce in those days. Maybe you had an SL 120(?!)
Of course, there were the SL 1210, 1300, SL7, etc among great decks!

Looking around the internet, although I also get confused because I did some swapping with my brother, I think I had an SL-23 and an SL-1500.
My brother also had one of those Technics TTs that had the controls on the front-top of the plinth, outside the dust cover. Never much cared for that look myself. Plus the controls got really dusty.

The SL23 I owned in the past
Was a fool to sell it.
Very good table IMO

What did you do with your Titan 808’s? Was is a difficult choice to let them go?
As always…a spectacular view.
