Best Price for Sony LL?
3 messages in this thread
What have you all seen as some of the better pricing available for the Sony
Laser Library kit? My current best was from Electronic Boutique
(800-800-0032), of 599.99.
Also as posted in another message in this forum, has anyone seen the
internal model referred to in the PC Mag article as the CDU-535 with the 6
disks? I think that someone else in the forum mentioned that he had
modified the external version to fit internally, but I guess you lose the
audio out capabilities by doing that (without some more modifications).
Anyway what have you seen as far as pricing, and what do you think about
the kit in general. (PC Mag obviously like it..)

Jason, I purchased the Sony Laser Library package at J&R Computer World in
New York (212 – 349-4727 or 212 – 732-8600) for $589.99.
Installing the CD-ROM card is clearly outlined in the install
documentation. Ditto for the software installation, it even warns you that
if you want to install the Sony demo program that you will need
approximately an additional 8Mb of hard disk space. One thing that I did
notice is that I can't find an explanation of the driver command line
parameters (I'll review the doc'c again.) I haven't had the time to run
all the CD's that came with the package (purchased it on 10/10) but over
all I think the package is a excellent value. I did appreciate the fact
that Sony included a headphone set.
I did a quick test of attaching a pair of Sony (Walkman) amplified speakers
to the unit and was impressed with the sound quality. I tried the Sony
model SRS27 (about $45) and the SRS55 ($75) I decided to go with the SRS55.
