It has become clear to me as a lucky HardSID 4U owner, after installing couple of 6581R3s in it and hearing how different they can be. Of course I can’t say if all R2s are similar or is it just that one, it’s the only one I’ve listened to.Īnyhow, what I want to say is that I think it’s likely that both your “R2” and “R3” are 6581R3 chips, and it just goes on to show that there are huge differences in 6581 SIDs, even between same revisions. And I gotta say, it doesn’t sound very nice at all. I have one 6581 that is likely an R2, as its date markings are early ’83. And also that R3s have been manufactured from at least mid ’83 onwards. Like the text you quote from Wikipedia says, both R2s and early R3s have no revision markings. Just like you, I also have my doubts that the “R2” might not be R2 after all. The other 6581s were tested in “Breadbin” if I’m not mistaken? You could try and see what happens if you install the “R3” into “Breadbin”. I’m suspecting that the stronger background noise is more because of the older motherboard rather than the chip itself. First the noise: From the pictures on the first shootout I can tell that your “Aussie” has older motherboard version than the “Breadbin”. However, I think the R3 gets a bit of an un-deserved beating here.

This also applies to the filter characteristics of different 6581s (regardless the revision). pointless to argue whether old or new SID is better - it’s really up to what you listen as any SID music sounds the best with the kind of chip it’s made for.
