Anyone tried the original Playstation 1 for CD?


I read the story in Six Moons about the original Playstation 1 being an excellent CD player. Has anyone actually tried doing this? Bob

I have a slightly modified PS1 as a CDP. I leave it on all the time and it is a fine player. For me in my set-up the sound of the PS-1 is a lot more of a laid back vs. other players. That isn't a bad thing, just different. I compared the PS-1 to a Cambridge S30 as a transport to a Grant Fidelity DAC-09 with an upgraded tube and I found the S30/DAC-09 combo more in your face. Again not a bad thing just a difference.
My PS1 CDP has thinner inch long brass footers and I believe they helped since my PS1 vibrates a lot to me. I just don't remember what my results were before the brass footers were installed. I too agree with KBuzz's sonic views on the PS1.
