I was in Nottingham (UK) this weekend, went out to visit a book shop, on the way there I visited a record shop and general used goods shop in Mansfield Road (didn't note the shop name) that had a few laserdiscs, of which I ended up buying Crystal Triangle NTSC. Crystal Triangle (1987) [ID2205CT]11 Harrowhouse PAL. 11 Harrowhouse (1974) [1196-70]Got the two for a fiver, which seemed reasonable. They had three others, can't remember titles, plus a few CED discs, if anyone else is in the area. On my way back I went into another shop selling second-hand stuff and got five DVDs for a fiver, nothing wonderful but some anime etc. Annoyingly I didn't find anything I wanted in the book shop itself, but the disks more than made up for it. |

Went to a thrift shop with a friend and came across this DVD player in the electronics section. Didn't think much of it at first, until I saw this on the face of it: Attachment:

Haven't tested it out yet, but I wonder if it would be best to play HDCD's on this one through the analog outs or through the HDMI? |

Shocking! I just purchased a Toshiba Dual-DVD/CD/HDCD player with the original remote and some rather high-end S-Video and Stereo RCA Audio cables for $9.95 last week Wednesday (December 15th). Had a bunch of HDCDs already I've bought over the years and tested it as soon as I got it home. My unit doesn't have HDMI output, so just used the RCA cables, but can't imagine there being any negatives to piping the audio through via HDMI.

Scott is superb in the role. Definitely worth powering up your player for.  It's sad to think that a man like Patton would never be allowed to advance their career in the U.S. Military today. He was quite the eccentric character, and the filmscore/soundtrack of that movie is amazing.
