Very interesting indeed, thanks. I share Sanlyn's concern regarding the different workflows, but I assume you just uploaded clips that you had on hand.

Now, I started to understand what Y / C delay is.

Y/C delay is just an offset. Previously when you asked about it, I thought you knew this and you were just asking whether I could detect it in the image you sent.
This article provides frame numbers of the Video Essentials LD for a specific "delay" pattern.
This and
this have a couple photos.
BTW,
some comb filter tests from Fudoh that I found while searching for Y/C delay images.

I own an ES15 & ES25, and used to own another ES15. I've tested them a lot. I haven't found any signal that I would say the ES15 decodes better than the ES25. I don't agree that they have a different "look" at all; the actual image quality seems identical when fed stable video.
It's tough to say they're identical with VHS sources, but I couldn't say any of the three was superior to one another except that the ES25 has the advantage of HDMI output, allowing me to bypass one D-A step. Getting way into the nitty-gritty, the two ES15s didn't even perform identically when fed simultaneous output from one playback of a tape. I sold the 2nd ES15 before
my most recent test with truly horrible material, but ES25 vs ES15 simultaneous output didn't point to a winner. They each fail on different frames. Playing the tape again to the ES25 showed failure on yet different frames. No consistency.
I thought you owned 15s and a 20 but not a 25?
