The sound of a good laserdisc is hard to beat by any other source. It is analog.
Well, the audio of early laserdics was analog, but it wasn't "good" by any stretch. It required its own analog noise reduction circuit to sound passable. The digital audio of the later discs (ca 1987 and later) is vastly superior. And i have to agree that the Pioneer players sound great compared even to very expensive, modern CD players. I preferred mine to my Rotel RCD-975, and that was an excellent-sounding machine.
IIRC, the video was the the only thing that remained analog (though read by a laser, of course) for LD's entire run.
What does one have to spend to get a Mac player?
