$1600 SCD-777ES - Where?

You should probably just call them. They were advertising it at $1799, and our firm has an account with them where we buy large quantities of computer equipment, so I got one at a better price. Hopefully they're not sold out.

Yes this item is not in their website, only thru calling their toll free. And I heard if you mentioned that you get it from the asylum site (it's an audio discussion site) you can get it for $1600 - worth the try

Verified with J&R Music today that their price new is $1,799 and the msrp is now $2,500. Did not get anywhere with the "asylum" discount however.

I bought one from J&R via mail order at $1600 plus shipping.

I bought one from J&R 2 weeks ago for $1800. It was in stock and I recieved it about a week after ordering. It is an awesome machine. It does need a substantial break in to warm up though.

Does anyone know the web site or phone number for J&R Music?

I have contacted J&R corporate sales to try to put together a group purchase of SCD-777es units. If anyone is interested, I will be calling them Monday to see if I can work a discount price at something less than $1600. Please e-mail me if you would like to be part of the group (and increase any bargaining leverage through sheer numbers.)

Zombie alert... This is the oldest thread I can find in a few minutes.I know some folks love to find really old threads and post to them...SO I want to be a guilty party too!                      
I alos bought a Sony SCD777ES for about $1,700 back then. It was OK, but like many of them, it stopped playing the SACD option if any disc inserted was a dual disc. And it was slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww to load.I could go take a nap between inserting disc and the moment it would start to play. I still own it. The Black Whale sitting on my bottom shelf. No longer loved.. Now I use my shiny new Marantz SA-10.

I plugged in my Sony SCD-1 after a 15 year hiatus last month. Moved to a new house last week. The Sony player still sounds damn fine. Mine is a Vacuum State modded (v6) unit. My Sonare microRendu is misplaced from my move and I am back to listening to CD's until I locate it and fire up ROON. Glad to contribute to this important historical discussion.

I bough a mint used one. I sill like the slid door CD/SACD driver. It is a classical. Much of turntable design of digital player. Will keep it.
