[Request] The Taking of Pelham 123 (1974), Original Mono

[axeyou]

as you can see, a line (technical term would be noise?) at the 15khz and the peaks falling short of 15khz line while the DVD does have a good range

I think I can see a faint line around 16 kHz on the DVD's spectrogram. IIRC it's due to a CRT monitor being present nearby (forgot the technical term of what it's called).

Curious how it shifted closer to 15 kHz on the MGM BD though and appeared to be more "defined"?

In any case, thanks so much xwmario! Great work. I'll PM you.

So not a panic stations downmix

[axeyou]

Different BDs. The suspected downmix is Kino’s new UHD/BD. This is MGM’s BD compared against DVD.

Yes, the Kino UHD/HD is a downmix for sure!

More evident that the MGM 1080p Blu-ray is a bad resample or mastering with additive noise reduction.
Edit: the term would be called magnetic relay? I am so bad with technical terms …
Either way, just doing some final touches, will reply with links for the audio to who have PMd

[bendermac]

You guys forget about the 1st Kino Lorber release, which also had a mono mix. You might wanna put into the comparison bucket

[xwmario]

Was not able to get that audio currently, but can do a quick comparison if needed, and as far as I remember it was a let-down when compared to other sources.

Has anyone been able to get their hands on a copy of the LD?
