what is the best audio system for a real sid
hi, i recently bought a hardsid, in combination with a
pc sidplayer or VICE it is really cool!, but i am still
wondering what the best choice is for an amplifier and speakers
to really get the best sound out of it..
all best wishes to you...

ok thanx for the reply, what is your advice in general: a modern system
such as a cinema system with many options or an old school system.
I have a Sony amplifier with Jamo speakers and a Kenwood equalizer.
The Sony has an output of 4 x 80 watt and the speakers give me 90 watt each,
This system is about 10 years old. and I noticed that 'channels' between
6 and 16khz are slightly distorted, but my Monsterbeat headphone gives a really good result.
i have tried to adjust this with the equalizer with different results.
my knowledge of the sid powers is unfortunately insufficient yet.
maybe a strange question but since the monsterbeat uses the same amplifier,
it maybe the Jamo speakers who are not the right type.. it seems to me that
a amplifier use the same technology for the speakers
as for the headphone but with a lower watt circuit.

Dont buy a cinema system, you dont need more that 2 channels.
Buy a 2 channel amp and they lay all the money and effort on 2 channels.
The modern speakers dont bring the soft mid-range, as old speakers, because of different paper in the speakers.
When the right amp-speaker combination is in use, the equlizer is not nessasary, but only the bass and treble adjustments. The sensitive mid-range should never be touched.

ok thanks for the info.. i buy a 2 channel system with
old speakers.. and use the cinema for modern multymedia.
i already thought so but had to know it for sure.
i already had a cinema system ...
last question: do you mean a digital processing amplifier
of a analog system...
i think i end up with 3 systems:
-cinema system for modern games and multymedia
-analog system with old big speakers for real sid
-digital processing with Monsterbeat headphone for real sid

Akai or Fisher, i recommend as amplifier
And as speakers , Yamaha or Dali.
There is a 6,5" speaker called Dali 102. Made in Denmark
They fit with most amps

I have a cheap multimedia set hooked up to the C64.
It has a subwoofer.

Perhaps that the sidchip you have, is damaged. I have a c128 (sid6581), and the sound has a bit distortion or the sound is not so clear as it should be.
