Alternative parts : Replacing SID with ARMSID

The biggest problem with retro computers is sourcing parts, which haven’t been manufactured since the 1980s.  SIDs and CIAs are pretty expensive to replace these days so the new awesome alternative parts are fantastic.

I’ve got two c64s both with broken SIDs, so I thought I’d give the ARMSID a red hot go. I’m pleased to say everything I’ve read about them is true. I’m not an audio aficionado but they sound great to me.

You can read about them here and you can buy them from here.

It took about 3 weeks to get to me from the Czech Republic, most of that was probably spent in customs in Australia.
