Note: I have had Quad or better sound (current is 6.0. I do not need a Sub, my mains are 15") since the 70's.

I also have LaserDisc. So far, I lost one (unplayable) to Laser rot. A few show signs, but still play (and don't look wonderful on a modern TV (Not Zoomed, just original aspect). Letterbox and Digital sound was a plus.

VHS! Had some combo- players ( Tape and DVD), but the rubber parts are failing and replacements were priced closer to when these were new.- Dumped/gave the tapes away.

So far, my DVD collection is in good condition, but for new content, I prefer Bluray.
