Question:
I've just noticed there is a new album, remixed ect. Would the picture quality be better than an old Abba v-cd sampler I've got. How good is the sound?
A guilty pleasure Abba...anyway...
If you mean 'The Definitive Collection' although the videos are a bit ropey, which you'd expect given the age/budget/source, the audio's really not bad at all. It's only Dolby Digital 2.0 which worried me quite a bit when I noticed on the packaging, but it sounds pretty darn good. It's based on remastered originals and the compression only shows itself in toning down the slight tinniness of the originals. It made me think that maybe the compression can actually (whisper) make it sound better than PCM by masking the tonal artificiality of a straight PCM sound and making it sound more analoguey and warmer.
Give it a go. You'll like it.
Whoa. Thanks . A totally excellent reply. Off to find the best internet source
