Recently I acquired a TAF and that has to be one of the worst sounding machines I've ever played/owned. As a musician the sound REALLY grates on me heavily.
I've looked around for alternate sound packages (remastered originals) and coming up empty I decided to start fooling around with different software packages available to see if there was anything I could do to achieve a result that was less irritating. With most I've played with, it appears you can't polish a turd. However with some you can make it less offensive.
I still have much to learn and much much more tinkering to do but I wanted to share what I "hear" as a much less offensive distorted mess and now something that is a noticeable improvement. Oddly enough the file size remained identical to the original.
To give credit where it's due, I downloaded the TAF hybrid sound package from Pinsound to get the audio files to work with. Comments and suggestions welcome.
