Hi folks,
like in this thread, people ask me to measure certain DVDs from time to time. I will probably go into another SPL measurement frenzy soon, but i want to measure as many titles as possible 'in one session', because the setup of the equipment and cables is quite time consuming. Once i am actually running, it doesn't really matter whether i measure 5 or 10 titles.
I don't want to measure titles for the heck of it, though. As i stated in the SPL section of my homepage, i like to measure titles which are 'controversial'. Like the original JP DVD, where some people claimed it didn't have close to enough bass and others stated it had plenty. My measurements proved the former.
Another typical scenarios would be titles where either the DTS or DD track sounds 'significantly' better than the counter part. Like on Gladiator, where a completely different mix was used for the DTS track.
I am intruiged to check out whether the Superbit rereleases actually have new mixes or whether they simply contain the same mix as the original, only presented in 448kbps DD and 768kbps DTS.
So i am ready for suggestions.
I obviously can't guarantee anything. For example, i have to actually own the title or at least have access to it.
Regards
Bjoern
