but most of my comparisons were on a CRT projector. All of this has to do with many things.The LD-S2 had a far better LD transport, indeed it was progenitor of the HLD-X9 and had no transport compromise to accomodate CDs. Through the S-Video connector I thought the 97 was better. Through the composite (a minimum of processing) I thought the line doubler/LD-S2 beat the 97 (either VHS or composite) and "whupped" the 99 on a CRT. The 99 had digital noise supression that could result in "digital blocking" on a CRT projector but was handled well by digital projectors. I suppose I prefer the CLD-99 on my current digital, though the LD-S2 has been gone for a bit now and visual and aural memory fade quickly!
Having said that, I had to have the LD-S2 adjusted every year for best performance. It was a finicky beast. Finally, only the late, lamented Muse Pioneer player had as good a RFI/EMI/Vibration isolation.
I suppose that, sorta, I used the LD-S2 as a transport and the doublers as comb filters as well as doublers. And that removed the LD-S2's weakness compared to later products. I haven't equaled that combination since on CRT. Though the 99, as I said, seems better on Digital Projection. At $3,500 the LD-S2 was a pricey transport!
Just me, of course, Rico!
Cheers
