@ AntcuFaalb

Thanks for the update! Too bad these things must be dragged along, kicking and screaming.

On the chance you may have already seen this -- I came across a thread, Best VP for Laserdisc playback, under Video Processors of the AVSforum. Those few pages there are a wealth of information and learned opinion (some basic & some in-depth) ... and worth a read.

Aleks.J posted there about a laserdisc player he was upgrading with higher quality components (the man sure knows his electronics -- must be an engineer). He even posted about some of his progress here at OriginalTrilogy, too. For example, this thrilling note:

I have been modding my player quite a bit now, watching the Star Wars 97' special edition i was unsure i were watching Dvd or Ld

Also, with your mention of the Crystalio II VPS-3300/3800, he had words to answer from bygone years (2009):

The one used in the X0 is indeed an old design, the unit was released in 95. The Runco and its father the Nec Ips 4000Q was released in 99 so that means the filter in the X0 is from 94 wich is pretty weak compared to the newer 3D filters. Compared to the mitsu 3D filter in the C2ex the Nec is still better. Head to head i bet it can beat the Crystalio II on LD performance if it outputs s-video because of its design and strong TBC.
