I am looking to get a slight upgrade to my laserdisc player, even though I already have 7 ). This is more from the standpoint that I want to have another higher end (but not top) machine at home. Currently, my laserdisc player chain is VP-900 (chroma noise reduction) => DMR-ES2 (comb filter) => DPS235 (TBC) => IN1508 (scaler). Considering I would like to keep CD functionality and I want to have LD-G, what options are available to me? I'm thinking one of these two are the best options. I'm not ready to go to a Hi-Vision, at that point it would be better off to buy a video processor (lumagen/crystalio). I know the CLD-HF9G would be very similar to my CLD-79, but it would have LD-G and perhaps a slight amount less noise. The CLD-R7G would probably be better though s-vid, but then again I have a noise reducer in my chain. How is its composite output on sharpness? Subjectively, I really like the looks of the HF9, but I've also read on the forums that the R7G has less smear. Thoughts?

Also, build quality is very poor. You also didn’t like the 959 so...not sure how good something needs to be to be good enough for your setup.

Mine is the non-A, but both the A and non-A came in models with and without noise reduction. The VP900 I have is w/noise reduction. I use it for chroma noise reduction, and it works really well, but you have to be judicious with the amount as higher levels introduce ghosting. That is partially why I was interested in the composite output on the CLD-R7G. My VP900 only has a composite in. rein-o wrote: R7G was very nice, I had one, but you must run the S-Video. No smear at all, some say its more of a DVD image but I was very happy with it. If you don't mind my asking, why did you get rid of it?
