All in all, 3 SIDs.
Thanks!

I ordered a c64 reloaded and need a SID chip, but I have no idea which is the best version or why I would want one vs another. Recommendations?

Thanks!

You know you could have ordered a NOS 8580 together with your Reloaded board?

The 8580 has less distortion and is more like the SID was supposed to sound like, however the flaws in the 6581 models are liked by many as the distortion can make it sound more 'full' or 'warm' whatever you call it. I think many newer demos are designed for the 8580 and thus may not sound right on an 6581, so optimally you would want both with a SID switcher.

Actually I did order the NOS 8580 with my Reloaded board, but I thought the 6581 was the supposed to have the "truest" SID sound quality.

Maybe a SID switcher would be a good idea -- then I can have the best of both worlds I suppose
