I had an LDS-2 for years and toward the end of the laserdisc era purchased a Pioneer Elite CDL-79 to have as a backup in case anything happened to the LDS-2. I was amazed to find out that the new player FAR outdid the LDS-2 in terms of both picture and sound.
So the LDS-2 has become the backup (actually the second backup sinceI bought another CDL-79).The CDL-79 plays both sides both sides of an LD, has Dolby Digital 5.1, and also is a fantastic CD player with a separate drawer which disengages the video circuitry. The build quality is nowhere near that oif the LDS-2 (what is?) but the performance is clearly (pun intended) better.
I have 900 laserdiscs and 600 DVDs. IMHO DVDs offer a better picture, especially through a progressive scan player. Most are anamorphic widescreen and all have some form of DD or DTS sound.
Laseriscs and the LDS-2 were state of the art in 1990 but that was long, long ago.
