0088 Super VCF Midwest 19 wrap-up and a C64 SID vs SIDKICK battle

I’m back from the awesome VCF Midwest 19 (2024) and I cam back with great memories and some awesome items gifted to me from other viewers and exhibitors. This includes the relatively new SIDKick Pico, a fully open source and inexpensive MOS SID replacement. How does it stack up?
