I've been thinking about doing some sort of audio upgrade on my Mousin' Around after hearing a Rollergames with great sound. I asked what speakers had been added and according to the owner of the machine the speakers were original and all that was added was Pinsound. The thing is, I don't want Pinsound as from my understanding it would cause a lot of features in Mousin' Around's sound package to be lost, such as the sound effects and music cues that change key depending on what key the main track is in. I'd also be concerned about things like the lights blinking in time with the music getting out of sync from what Pinsound is playing. On the other hand, from what I've read, just upgrading the speakers likely won't improve the sound that much.

So, what I'm wondering is, how I can best improve the audio quality on the game without using a Pinsound? Are there any Pinsound alternatives that don't completely override the existing audio board but still improve quality (Just the quality of the music of course, I know the sound clips can't be improved at all)? Or is getting better speakers and an external sub the best I can do?

I know that, mainly I'm just looking to get better bass and stuff like that. Does Pinsound make any modifications to the original soundtracks of games? If so I suppose that's why the Rollergames might have sounded better than normal. Most notable about it was how nice the bass sounded compared to an unmodified one. Not looking for anything crystal clear or anything like that, I'm a bit of a purist and I can't imagine replacing any of the sounds with something new, just curious if there are any worthwhile upgrades if I'm sticking with the original audio board.

There was a TX Sector I played at Pinfest with a sub underneath it, and I thought that sounded pretty incredible, so is that probably the best thing I can try?
