well i don't own the best player in the world but mine offers about 54db of video s/n ratio which is on par with any laserdisc player ever made.

The best thing to do with a laserdisc capture imo is capture it raw, adjust the colors,brightness, and contrast and then watch it and appreciate it for what it is. Upscaling it and filtering it almost always looks bad compared to the GOUT.

I'm not trying to discourage anyone from trying it but once you start to work with editing it and you stack it next to the GOUT or SE you will always be a bit disappointed.
