Quote: Anyway, it’s probably the same as this thing: https://supershop.store/products/sony-o ... 2pEALw_wcB Sorry I should have quoted you and said I got the exact same lead from Sony. It would not work. I could get no leads like that that worked. As I said i know nothing about engineering or electronics so I had to go to someone who did. Fair enough?

Quote: I have that same disc and it’s a great demo. What i found interesting was i was seeing a level of detail I hadn't seen before. Also no problems with the picture image. No banding. Just 100% pure playback. It did put into perspective how poor video processors are and so glad I invested in a new AV lead for the Sony. Comparing this Sony to my old plasma was a no brainer. The Sony OLED wins hands down with a level of control across all areas in both picture and sound. I was using an X9 in that playback. Again my X9 handles picture and sound superbly but discs are still noisy at the beginning. So it's a myth that the X9 is soundless. My discs are well stored and looked after so no warping or any other problems. The beginning of the disc is usually noisy and it dies down after about 5 minutes. I have two copies that Enya disc and both play the same. For some reason CAV discs tend to be more noisy on playback than CLV. The sound on these discs is amazing played back through a soundbar. Simply put i'll be enjoying my laserdiscs for years to come.......... Off course a brand new 21st century player from Pioneer would be nice but that's not going to happen..... Shame as there is plenty of life in the format yet.

substance wrote: Keep telling people current TVs way surpassed almost all of those now obsolete video processors but see many people blow hundreds on them anyway. Expecially those old Faroudja, DVDO and no name boxes are literally door stops now. Unless you have the funds and fortune to find a working Crystalio II or Lumagen Radiance 2144, there is no reason for video processors. They actually degrade video, they are antiquated technology. indeed. remember the high-end home theater halcyon days of the late-90's, when well-heeled empty-nesters were blowing like $20k or more on line-doublers and all that somesuch?
