Perhaps this might help as a guide for noisereduction?

Thanks ready. for the information. I'll try to take a pic of my plugs someday. I want to stress that the way I did it is _not_ a hardware modification, but simply one way to connect the SID to the outside world.

A picture of this modified plug at http://codebase64.org/ would be 100% nice, in order to make it available for the future. :)

Just solder these two pins together.

Uhm.. that picture shows the connector IN the computer and not the connector at the cable. On the cable it's of course mirrored.

...iirc ;-)

Ok! I started a little article on this on codebase. Feel free to improve it. (Did Magervalp say something about that it was better to connect these pins with a resistor or something? I don't know shit about these matters.)

Have a nice day!

@Devia, that's right, I just forget to mention it! :)
Shorting composite video to ground shouldn't be dangerous though.

so, i was too lazy to have fun with soldering. just as i expected.
BUT it is quite effective to get rid of the noise using the noise gate. very short attack, hold and short-to-mid decay did the job beautifully for me, and they will probably do it for you as well. provided that you don't use long (B to F) release phases. and yes, don't expect to filter out the whole noise from the low frequency dominated tracks (eg. kick drum).

...and I just updated the Codebase page on this topic a little.

Yep!

Hm.. This past weekend I modded my A/V plug to short SIDIN and GND.
The result was.. well.. non-audible :( ..meaning I can't hear any noise reduction improvement from that at all.
Someone should test the result of this visually by sampling the output in the two cases... I'm too lazy to do this right now :-P
