I finally found a little window of time to plop a set of ARM2SIDs into a MIDIbox SID to play with some patches, and.... WHOAH... In my humble opinion, they perform exceptionally well. I tested them with default configs (i.e., dropped them into a MIDIbox SID with no config changes), and can say that they combine a very low noise floor (e.g., nonexistent), and produce very accurate SID sound emulation, with reliably consistent volume levels, across all voices and various patches (So, Win-win-win.... ). The price-point for an ARM2SID set is ~$48 USD, which is a bit more expensive than purchasing 2 * SwinSIDs (which avg. ~$15-$20 each on eBay, or $30-$40 for a pair), but ARM2SIDS sound very accurate and produce consistently powerful output levels, irrespective of the patch chosen. I'm more than happy to share sounds from some patches or a popular SID track, if anyone is interested. Best, -Darrell
