How does the CLD-59 rate as a laser disc source?


This seems like an ok piece, it has AC-3 and digital outs plus s-video. Does anyone have any first hand experience with this LD player? I think I'll eventually buy a CLD-97 or 99, but for now how do you guys rate the CLD-59 and how does it compare to the CLD-92?

Thanks

The Pioneer Elite CLD-59 is the apex of Laserdisc.
 
It had Dolby AC-3 

Subsequent LD players had better technology but by that point DVD had supplanted LD. 

I recently watched T2 for the first time on my CLD-59 and it was amazing.
