The NTSC dvd of "Gremlins" has a 5.1 and 2.0 track. After comparing them thoroughly i can say the 2.0 track is NOT a downmix, even though they sound very similar. I do not have a LD track of this film to compare it with, but i found out something else when i started syncing/editing the 2.0 NTSC track. I discovered a PAL DVD which has 5.1 and 2.0 tracks as well. And when comparing both stereo tracks of the NTSC and PAL dvd's, i can say the PAL dvd is slightly less noise reduced and therefore (in my opinion) better sounding.
So i started anew, but this time with the PAL 2.0 track and synced it to the 4K release which only has a DTS-HD MA 5.1 track. Just let me know if you're interested in this stereo mix.
I think it sounds really good : )
