LDS2 Vs. CLD-97

Archived from groups: alt.video.laserdisc (More info?)

S2 and LD-V8000 has lowest noise levels for a single sided player and
the 97 for a dual sided player from the Pioneer US line.

AS I've stated in the other threads, if you are going with a digital TV
this may not matter. On my 530HD Pioneer The X9 looked better than a
97. On my Philips 34PW9818 CRT the 97 looked best.

So the v8000 is better than a 704?

I simply can't muster the extra cash for an X9 at the moment, and my HDTV
purchase is still a while off, I keep having to postpone it.
