Hello, I'll start by saying I'm from England originally but have been living permanently in the USA since June 2010. I'm from Wyoming NOW.
I bought my first Laserdisc player in the fall of 2016. A Pioneer CLD-1090. I then started buying discs from eBay (carefully looking up versions etc on LDDb.com). Those discs and some I came across locally now number around 150. I also have a Pioneer CLD -S104 and a Pioneer CLD-S201. I did some side by side comparisons of picture quality, but the 1090 always looked SLIGHTLY better to me and I think because it was my first and is in such great condition, I just cant put it in storage.
I really love Laserdiscs. There is something about the size, artwork, look, weight and feel, history, interaction, preservation and my great taste in movies(!!!) that make handling and watching laserdiscs such a special hobby.
Favorite laserdisc? Star Wars 1130-84 Second favorite laserdisc? about 149 of them.
