I just got an adapter to take SVHS and Composite video to HDMI. Now the question: I have a CLD99, LD-S9 and a McIntosh MLD-7020. Which one would you unbox and why. McIntosh MLD-7020, it's one of the sexiest LD machines there is.

7020 is essentially a cld-97 but with ac3 built in. Build wise the 7020 is probably the best of the lot. Closely followed by the Ld-s9. I'd definitely go composite out rather than s-video because I think the 7020 has a bog standard 2d comb filter. The Ld-s9 is basically a cld-99 but with better comb filter, so could be worth using s-video with the s9. pokefraker wrote: McIntosh MLD-7020, it's one of the sexiest LD machines there is. It would be if it retained the rose wood side panels of the 95/97.

If you expect these machines to last they need to be in rotation. When I'm not getting players that were broken in shipping, I'm getting players that have been stored for years without use. Some inside, a few outside . I've found leaves inside of a player before. I always open players up and clean (and re-grease) them to prevent a debris tornado. Then I run a few discs through them before even looking at the adjustments. Note to anyone new: do not open your player unless it is broken or you are familiar with electronics.
