After comparing the non-CX LD with the VHS, I'll have to give the nod to the LD for overall fidelity. I guess LALD didn't get a very good recording for home video, which is a shame as the theme song at least sounds stellar on LP.
It looks like all of these movies have widescreen PCM releases, but I only have these for
TLD, OHMSS, Octopussy, YOLT
I have analog sound LDs for
Dr. No, FRWL, Goldfinger, LALD, AVTAK.
For now I'll capture the PCM tracks and hopefully someone here will have the PCM tracks or the LDs to share. If not I'll grab what I have in CX. I thought that the CX analog could sound better than 44.1/16 PCM as analog doesn't have any sampling rate but it seems that digitizing the magnetic masters gives far better sound than digitizing an analog copy of that master at 192/24, assuming both LD tracks came from the same source.
Oh well, whatever sounds best is what I'll take.
