Thanks to a online friend i was able to obtain a LD stereo track of "Gremlins 2". Therefore i could compare it with the stereo mix from the DVD. And to be clear, just like "Gremlins" i can say this is not a downmix of the DVD's 5.1 track.
When comparing the LD to the DVD track, the 2.0 track from the DVD is less noise reduced, even though the LD track has a somewhat higher dynamic range. My preference is the less noise reduced DVD track, so that's what i have synced to the blu-ray.
Let me know if you want to check it out for yourself.
