I think the laserdiscs are capable of sounding better overall, due to coming from the master tapes. They have less generation loss and also less noise, as well as more headroom before distortion, but they do have their own issues due to being made with 1980’s era digital equipment.
I remember hearing a sample of the SW mono mix that Team -1 posted a while back: I thought it sounded simultaneously both better and worse than the existing version. Better, with greater clarity due to significantly less generation loss; but worse, because of additional distortion in the background not present in the Belbucus track. It’s been a while, so I’d have to hear the current version of what -1 have to make any kind of further pronouncements.
