In Reply to: So JI wasn't having some "auditory sensory mistracking" when he claims to have heard a difference ? posted by oscar on August 31, 2007 at 05:36:16:
Yes, he probably heard a difference depending on the title. I haven't done any serious comparisons yet, but I did notice that 300's PCM and TrueHD tracks are really out of whack (I only watched the first few minutes of the movie the day I got it to see how it looked). I wouldn't put it past the morons at Warner Bros to have given the dialog normalization wheel a first rate spin and really crank up the crap factor.
It's really sad what Dolby has become re: audio quality. I used to respect the company for the audio tools they provided to consumers. From Dolby B, C and S noise reduction for tape decks to Dolby Surround and Pro-Logic Surround for home theaters to Dolby Surround and Spectral Recording for the cinema. They were truly a company you could count on to deliver a better audio experience for the end user.
Starting with AC-3/Dolby Digital, they began sucking donkey dicks. Given the time they've had to correct that mistake and have yet to do so, I believe they've moved on to elephants.
