The Untouchables (1987) - LD PCM

I guess what he meant was that it only needed a delay for his already synced track.

Anyway, despite the sync issues, did you compare P&S 1886 with the LV 1886-2WS?

Much like what has been found out with music CDs, that the older the press the better and less digitally manipulated sound, users here are finding many early LD sounding better than later remasters.

Don't think the p/s track is Dolby Surround, just flat stereo as far as I am aware. Am I wrong.

I'm no expert ear wise (or syncing for that matter) when it comes to the nitty gritty of determining which track is better anyway, just know I can't stand all these newer fangled atmos blah blah etc tracks of today. Tried contacting ac3 (at original fanres) for his synced track but he appears to be ignoring me for what I can only assume is because I post regularly here on this forum which he despises for whatever reason.

He ignored me on the old forum so you're not alone.

Thanks to the guys doing the good work on these LD rips/syncs.

Looking forward to hearing The Untouchables as it was meant to be heard.

I have both LDs. If I can figure out why my capture setup doesn't like ac3 tracks I will do that one as well. The original letterbox copy was one of my earliest LDs and usually what I've gone back to over the years since the DVDs and BD sucked.

The AC3 mix on the 1998 DVD should be the same as the one on the 1998 Laserdisc version.

That’s what I always figured but you never know for sure until doing direct comparisons.

Did anything ever come of this? The Untouchables's DVD audio was synced to the Blu-Ray on a certain private tracker site.

Don't think so
