If you're talking about the Blu ray for the 31 episode series, the original mono is really nice to my ears. I think it's from optical tracks which is also what LaserDisc had, the LaserDisc had an isolated score track I heard once and it was way better quality since it was from master tapes not optical. The 5.1 track is not good, very thin, it's just too much artificial sounding in parts, similar to the Lupin movie remix tracks. I actually watched the entire series in 5.1 before I realized it had the old mono. I think there was a stereo track too but I'm unsure about the lineage.

I would love to know if the Cobra Movie Blu has the theatrical dolby stereo track, it has one, but I can't tell (it's also lossy). The TrueHD sounds about the same as the 2.0 in pro logic so I always go with that since it's lossless.
