I always do the "virgin" listen in the original mix as often as possible, so I started with the PCM 2.0 and "graduated" to PCM 5.1 and then sampled the DTS-HD MA 5.1 track.

By the way, in the PCM 2.0 track, is anybody missing the first note of "Tom Sawyer"? I originally thought this was just my A/V receiver being slow in transition, but the note is present on both the 5.1 tracks. Then I read an interesting tidbit on Wikipedia :

The first pressings of Moving Pictures on compact disc were missing the first beat of "Tom Sawyer" by mistake. This was corrected in subsequent CD releases.

So...maybe a subtle wink or something?
