It’s important to keep in mind, this is the 7.1 track downmixed to stereo, compressed by YouTube, and played back by varying audio systems. I find when played with headphones from the Internet browser, it doesn’t sound great, but playing the same file in MPC-HC and having LAV Audio Decoder upmix it to 5.1 for my 5.1 surround system, it sounds amazing! It does indeed make some of the rougher lines stand out, but that’s true of the video as well; let’s be honest, the faces of the matte painted rebels at the award ceremony are FRIGHTENING to look at with this level of clarity. This restoration will indeed expose imperfections, but that’s part of the charm of the films.
