If you are not concerned about sharpness or dual sided playbck then the
single sided LD-V8000 is a good selection (It was Pioneer's best Industrial
unit).  If you are only concerned about Video noise then this unit has a
nice smooth film like picture.  The 1010 is also a good single sided player
for this, it has the red laser like in the HLD-X9 but it only plays NTSC
LD's (No MUSE playback for those that took a double look at the red laser
with this).

If you like the look of Digital Noise Reduction smoothing out the noise then
the CLD-D703 is a very good choice.

As you noted the LD-S2 Single sided or CLD-97 dual sided also have lower
noise levels with very nice pictures but you are talking over $500 for
either one.

I have a pretty good collection of players I need to test so I can sell

LD-V8000's
CLD-D704's
CLD-1010 but cannot decide if I want to sell this one yet
LD-S2 once I get another sold.

Not sure when I'd have these ready as I'm swamped with repairs right now.
