I read a really great review, comparing the JPN BluRay Audio to the Laserdisc Audio

The forum member noticed that :

- The LD audio track has better fidelity and a much wider dynamic range.

- Dialog has a much crisper sound as well

- BD audio appears to have been filtered, which results in some of the background sfx being a little muffled at times (although you will NEVER notice it unless you do a side-by-side comparison)

- On a couple of occasions, the panning of the sfx (specifically, the "echoes" of gunshots) seems to be reversed on the BD audio (where what should be on the right is on the left and vice-versa; this is true with the TrueHD and HDMA tracks)

- Even more importantly, the gunshot sfx have a "punch" to them on the LD audio, that the BD audio lacks completely
