>>The result of this is that the difference between LD and DVD is quite clear with good equipment. It is not quite as big as the difference between VHS and LD, but there is a definite distinction: I've not found one person yet who wasn't able to tell the difference between DVD and LD versions of the same title in just a few seconds. This includes several non-technical people."<<

As you very well know now, there are big differences between the output video quality among LD players. Most people have never viewed a LD using a player of the caliber of the LD-S9 or HLD-X9. I have people over all the time that comment that the LD has a more film like quality vs. the more video like quality of the DVD.
