Post subject:	Hiya!
Hi all, newbie here. I'm in my late twenties and didn't grow up with laserdisc, but when I learned about its fascinating technical specs for such an old technology (especially in the sound department) it was just too interesting for me to ignore. I also love the covers, to the point where I'm pretty jealous that none of the media I had as a kid (VHS, CD, DVD) came in giant covers like these. So now I've got a small but growing collection with a mix of favorite live-action movies and anime on LD (the NGE set is now one of my most prized possessions), and I'm enjoying tinkering with my AV setup to get them looking as good as possible when I feel like putting one on! (Understanding of course that there's no magic wand to put interlaced composite video in the same ballpark as a reference-quality UHD-BD. I'm here as a tourist of tech history, and other than with Star Wars I'm still going to go with blu-ray most of the time. Though if I ever come across a case where I can really tell that the LD has a better sound mix than the BD, I'll definitely think about ripping the BD video and the LD audio to make a file with the best of both worlds. Tl;dr: Hi!

Welcome to the group! I share your admiration of the great LD cover art. It's one of the reasons I like the format so much. It's great to know that there are younger people like you taking up the mantle and helping to keep these wonderful LaserDiscs from winding up in the landfills.
