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.

The best you can get with an excellent LD player and a well-mastered LD is PQ roughly equivalent to a 90s non-anamorphic DVD.

I'm not unrealistic and I wouldn't pay $5K for an LD player, but everyone has different priorities. If one has 10,000 LDs, for instance, then I can totally see the logic in purchasing an X0 to play them.
