Ant,

Between the Panasonic LX-900 and the Pioneer CLD-D704?

Which one?  And should I consider a Line Doubler at some point?

I prefer the Panasonic LX-900. It displays no CLV smear whereas the Pioneer CLD-D704 is well-known for being one of the worst for CLV smear, despite being an overall good machine.

If you need AC-3 RF, Duncan Hunter of laserdiscservice.com does an amazingly-professional-looking AC-3 RF mod for the Panasonic LX-900.

If you get your hands on a Panasonic DMR-ES25, then you won't need a dedicated line doubler and you'll have an amazing 3D comb filter on your hands as well. It also has HDMI output.

What about the Panasonic DMR-EA18?  I have one of those.
