Do a careful search

Been down this road. Be careful about what you select. I spent many hours searching using Google. With the help of an inmate I was pointed to a Pioneer CLD-D925 as one of the last and best incarnations but had quite a job tracking one down - it is used here for PAL LDs but is reputed to do a superior job on NTSC also. The absolute best for NTSC is the Pioneer HLD-X9 but you are unlikely to find one used and they might even be unavailable new by now.

Note that the Theta Data III is a tricked up Pioneer CLD-D703/D770 and is excellent re jitter control. However I have read of problems with the CD drawer and had to replace the spindle motor in mine - not a terribly expensive job as the Pioneer parts were easily available.

Good luck with your hunt

John
