There's likely very few people playing this demo on real hardware, especially from an actual floppy disk. It's a similar feel to playing records ("Vinyl" in modern speak), where taking the time to write the disk and watch it load adds to the experience.
When I tried playing the same demo on the A1200 (Rev 1A motherboard) the audio level was significantly higher and the audio quality seemed distorted and over-driven.
There's a nice Youtube video discussing a known issue with Rev 1A motherboards where the audio opamp feedback resistors are too large and should be replaced with a lower value, thus decreasing the gain. I'll try this out and post the outcome. This post captures the current A1200 and A600 audio as a benchmark for before & after comparison.
Before, A1200 (sounds terrible!)
For reference, A600 (sounds great!)
