I started with a Denon LA-2300 for capping AC-3 from the SE discs, and then I got the idea to go PAL (in large part because I hated the idea of stray combed frames being left over from the infernal IVTC), so I had to pick up a PAL player. I kinda figured, "In for a penny, in for a pound," and got myself a Pioneer CLD-D925 -- the best PAL-spec player Pioneer ever made. Maybe not as nice as some of the NTSC-only players made for the Japanese market, but still the best I could get my grubby little hands on.
