The two best-selling MM kits right now are the SB kit that you saw
advertised and the Media Vision kit.
The SB Pro has a proprietary CD interface, meaning that you are locked into
one manufacturer's drive. The MV kit has a standard SCSI interface. That
means that if you want to add something like the Pioneer 6-CD changer to
the MV, you can, but to the SB Pro, you cannot. On the other hand, the
drive that comes with the SB Pro is faster than the Sony that comes with
the MV, although the Sony is fast enough to meet MPC specs.
The SB Pro also has a reputation for being very noisy, in addition to only
doing stereo digitizing at have the rate of the MV card. The MV card has
special shielding that makes it a lot cleaner when digitizing.
I don't recall the price of the SB kit off hand, because we haven't sold
any of them yet(!). We sell the MV kit for $720. If interested, you can
email me for more info.
