I posted a seperate thread about how I'd had judder problems with partnering my panasonic PX80B plasma with Panasonic BDP 65. I borrowed the LX52 and after a nights viewing am thinking of going for this at £250 as judder is negligable and picture quality more natural. I notice however the newer LX53 model is going for £200. Sound wise I will be connecting the analogue outs to 2 channel hi-fi so not using much of the technology available on either players in terms of complexity. My hi-fi dealer seems to think the LX52 is still better than the LX53. Is this true given the set up I will be using the player in? Would the LX53 sound as good through the analogue outs as the 52? Is there any difference in picture quality? I don't intend to go for a full home cinema set up in the furure. Quite happy with 2 channel hi-fi. Many thanks for your replies....
