Testing it on the sample that you posted, I notice that when I listen through my cheap, low quality PC speakers, there is little if an...

Not all .ny files are effects - some are listed in the Analysis menu, and some in the Generate menu (depending on what type of plug-in they are. Have a look at a clean installation of Audacity 1.3.5 first (as suggested previously). I could post links to some weird sounds that I've made using Audacit...
