This is very confusing, basically it comes down to whether you want to hear
what the ST was attempting to produce or what the average ST user would
hear. The vast majority of STs were hooked up to TVs or had dodgy speakers,
this meant that the output was muffled slightly, with the way the ST
produces sound this can make quite a difference. As PC's almost always have
good speakers "Direct" mode can cause some tunes to sound tinny and shrill.
That is why we have "ST Speaker Emulation", that muffles the sound like bad
speakers and can make some sounds much better.
Of course if your PC speakers or your sound card aren't that good then you
can get the muffling effect with "Direct" mode, so I'm afraid I can't tell
which mode would be most accurate for you.
Hope that helps,
Russ
