The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)

Too many changes in the English 5.1 to name. Most notably, the gun effects have been modernised and sound extremely weak.

Your (best) options: Get hold of the available English LaserDisc mono track. It sounds better than the 192 kbps mono track provided on the standalone reissue of the 4K remaster, and the differences have little to do with lossy versus lossless compression -- the LD audio has less noise reduction.

  1. I heard the lossless dual mono track on the Kino release sounds great too

  2. The new 4K release uses the laserdisc audio and sounds excellent
