Harmy, you completely misunderstand what I wrote. I am not not NOT finding any fault AT ALL with that mix! I am well aware of how your DTS mix was created. I have read about it and found it to be fascinating.

And it was blasting through my surround setup last night. It was spectacular.

I was referring to LPCM audio vs DD2.0 audio of the same mixes. Or how studios wil ltake the older mix and do it in DTS today, but not remixing. Ala CROCODILE DUNDEE on Blu-Ray, which is in 2.0 DTS but doesn't sound as good as the laserdisc's LPCM audio.

Clarifying further: The laserdisc PCM Star Wars audio murders the DD2.0 192kbps audio on the official 4X3 letterboxed DVD's.

It is also infinitely superior to the 5.1 remix by Lucasfilm for those DVD's.

Take any mono or simple stereo film on DVD and compare the audio to the older laserdiscs and you find the Laserdisc PCM wins, hands down.

And now (unfortunately) the same even goes for numerous 2.0 surround DTS tracks on Blu-Ray. They do not sound as good as the old laserdiscs.

So again... I am NOT finding fault in ANY WAY with the Harmy DTS mix. NONE!!! I don't know why that is not coming across. What you guys did is far above and beyond what the studios are willing to do. Paramount pictures couldn't give a crap how their Dundee BD sounds compared to the laserdisc. It's a BD with DTS so to them, it's cool and they can market DTS.

Trying to sum up. The only thing I am saying here is that having the PCM tracks as is would be a great thing and that PCM in general sounds better than the 2.0 DTS tracks we get from the studios.

I highly doubt anything can top the 5.1 mix on v2.5. But as a purist who has owned those laserdiscs for two decades, it would be cool to have those exact mixes.
