My budget is infinite. Which Ld player is the best?

Cool! A Pioneer HLD-X0. I suggest purchasing one from Nicholas Santini since he brings each one to Pioneer Japan to be looked over and aligned to spec. He's been doing this for a looonnnnggggg time and does his packaging really, really well.

Prior to his passing, my buddy Ty purchased one from him for ~$5K. IIRC, Nicholas gives you back ~$1K if you ship the original box back to him.

If you're going to get an X0, then I suggest you pair it with a PMS Crystalio II and then you'll be set.

 So I'm just curious, is it really worth it to pay $5k for a Laserdisc player? How much more quality could you possibly pull out of a Laserdisc? Isn't it still going to top out at lower quality than DVD? I mean, Laserdisc is awesome, but not THAT awesome.
