Thanks for all the help, sorry for not getting back sooner!

I was surprised by this claim in the first source:

'LD analog sound, at 75 dB s/n, is comparable to broadcast FM radio and superior to 35mm mag/optical film tracks and VHS Hi-Fi ...'

Is this correct? Is the signal to noise ratio the only factor in determining the quality of analogue sound? Does anyone know what the s/n for 35mm optical or magnetic is?
