Hi everybody,
After maybe a year of beeing a non active member of the Lddb forum, I thought it would be time to finally introduce myself and get involved into the forum. My name is Robin and i've been collecting now for about a year and a half. I have always been jealous of those guys that collect vinyl and loving the s**t out of it. I,m not into vinyl, so when I heard of laserdisc I was sold. I really love the covers and the ridiculous size of the discs.
My first buy was a Pioneer Cld s315 with a couple of movies. This really grew on me and I just wanted to find out more. Over time I upgraded to a Pioneer CLD 515, to finally settle on a Pioneer CLD 925. I was able to get them at a nice price. Only €150 for the 925, which is a bargain over here.
While increasing my collection I wanted to improve my picture. I first got a Pioneer dvr recorder, the lx60d. It has a pretty good comb filter. It also came with surround speakers and a sub, which sounds very nice in my room. Then I got really lucky and scored me a DVDO VP50 Pro inperfect condition for virtually nothing. This guy wanted only €25 for it. He told me I could only take it if took his projector too, a Barco Data 808. I don't know anything about crt projectors, so when I arrived I was shocked at the size and weight of this thing. It's huge! I ended up selling the projector for €50. Take off the petrol cost and i,m around €0 for my VP50 Pro. I use it for scaling and as switcher.
I also got a Sony SPD-EP70 for converting AC3 into Dolby Digital. Probably this year I will get my own place with enough room for a nice projector. Right now i watch it on a LCD Samsung TV 1080P, which surprisingly gives a very nice picture.
Right now I have a collection of around 200 laserdiscs. Most of them are common minus a few acceptions. Feel free to watch my collection.
This forum has helped me out a lot and I just want to say thx for all the usefull information. Folks, keep spinning those discs!
P.s What modern projector is good for laserdisc and blu ray 1080P movies???

Welcome on board - you made a good deal here, congrats! I guess you can look up Marktplaats for Lds, I found some Lds in the wild in the netherlands on fleamarkets, so keep your eyes peeled!
