For the first time, I disagree with you. The DVD "video" quality are significantly better than the VHS. The colors are richer, and the darkness is increased (making the Don's office scenes at the wedding, even more breathtaking). There are less grains and "dust" things (whatever they're called). But, Turnbull, I do understand where you're coming from. Because the VHS is breathtaking in its own right. In fact, I think it comes down to preference. The DVD is richer and darker, but the VHS has a certain "lighter" ambience that is beautiful.
As for the DVD audio, I don't pay attention to them as how most DVD reviews do. But, actually I do think that the VHS audio is better, and the Novel for TV is even better than the VHS, IMHO.
