>>Please do not be offended by this comment as, if I have located your system correctly, it is very high end. Interestingly we share similar front ends - you have a Pioneer Elite, we have a Theta Data III (dressed up Pioneer Elite) and we both have Toshiba DVD players.<<None taken on my part. As always, I appreciate discussing things like this with others.
>>We just saw "The Matrix" (sound via a Meridian 861 which I understand was used in making this movie) a couple of nights ago on DVD and did not detect the deficiencies in sound you refer to.<<
On its own merits, I also find "The Matrix" an excellent sounding movie on DVD. It's just more everything sounding on LD.
>>However I have not heard the comparible LD and even if I had it the comparison would not be valid as the AC3 RF demodulator we use is a cheaper Yamaha. Prior to the 861 I had bad aural experiences with Dolby Digital sound.<<
The RF demodulator, in my Proceed AVP, was built by MSB for Madrigal and it does an excellent job. I also have the same Yamaha RF demodular that you do which I used to use before I got the Proceed AVP.
Out of curiosity, have you compared the DTS DVD and DTS LD version of "Eagles: Hell Freezes Over"? The funny thing is, I actually like both the video and sound quality on the LD version over the DVD version.
I have been enjoying the LD format so much that I try to find movies on LD whenever I can, even if I have already purchased that same movie on DVD.
