  Why not first try a good pair of studio-quality
heaphones with a good 
 sound interface... Seriously, it makes a huge difference. 
It can make a huge difference, depends on how bad your existing speaker 
and sound hardware are.

...
  SoundFonts are available for free on lots of sites,
just google for free 
 soundfonts... 
Not all soundfonts are created equal.

  Anyone know if sf2midi.com <http://sf2midi.com>
has pirated sf's? 
Don't know - never heard of it!

     Actually, david wrote this part:

   I've
been using and loving the Yamaha audio patches for years.
 Someone else on the list mentioned that a lot of the Yamaha audio
 sound is due to the licensing of some very sophisticated wave guide
 audio patents from MIT or some college like that. I suppose you
 could read the patents and figure it out, but ... 
 Wasn't it CCRMA at Stanford?  
     I think that was it. I don't really recall, I just enjoy the Yamaha
     sound.

     Someone on the list provided a link to the site with the information
     about the patents (which belonged to the university, just were licensed
     to Yamaha).
