Video Asylum

any INSANELY built blu-ray players?

70.143.2.130

i'm a bit new to this video thing and am largely oldschool. i still use a laserdisc player and a sony wega 27" CRT TV!

but, i am looking to getting out of the dark ages. we have a crappy 10 year old philips DVD player that's starting to skip like crazy. and i'm debating between a 42" plasma and LED backlit LCD HDTV.

but i got to thinking that back in the day - pioneer made some SERIOUS laserdisc players like the CLD-97, X0, X9, S2 etc. just beautiful feats of manufacturing prowess. in fact, other than the mcintosh MLD-7020 (based off the CLD-97) the other boutique brands like theta, enlightened audio designs, etc. used lower end (but still good) LD players like the CLD-704 for their base to build from.

so my question is does pioneer or similar make an "all-out" blue-ray player? or are the days of copper chassis, jeweled bearing, 50 lb video players long gone?

see ya,
Robby

Check out the Marantz UD9004 but like others, I believe Oppo 95 is the best thing out there NT - Jazz Inmate 16:33:44 07/04/11 (0)

But if you're not using analog outs you should just get their $499 player.
