It could also be down to how the condition of some of these masters and the re recording. As we all know in this hobby, one can see a great version of a film that we have in our collection on television with good clear sound, where ours might sound like it was recorded in a cellar.It depends on many factors. I have been catching the odd episodes of "Kojak" on TV lately, having missed it when first run.I have to say, the stories play like mini Dirty Harry movies, beautifully photographed, and I can hear EVERY word of dialogue, even through the New York accents, because the actors deliver the lines clearly, unlike some of what passes for delivery now, on BOTH sides of the Atlantic.

The only difference I have noticed is with the British vs. Us super 8 optical sound prints, but this is due to audioo levels and not the original master recordings.
Strangely, the image quality will be better on the british prints (and much longer lasting color as well!) but the audio level will be recorded at a much lower level which, with all the pops and hisses of a optical soundtrack, the louder is, of course, the better.
