I'm shocked

Despite my cynicism of anything I read in Stereophile I decided to follow up on their recommendation regarding the first generation of Sony Playstation 1s.
After a long search I got one for $15.00 added a HiFi Tuning Fuse, an upgraded power cord and used JPS Labs Superconductor FX interconnects and burned it in for 5 days. My spouse likes it even better than my Rega Jupiter 2000 which we both like quite a bit. And, in most respects I have to agree even though it's using somewhat lower quality interconnects and power cord than on my Rega. It is a pretty amazing CD player.
Anyone else try it?

its for real. minimal bass but the top end is smooth. It is one listenable player. Not audiophile in your face but listen and relax. I too have the power punch and fuse. I did not listen without those upgrades so dont know how much help they are.

You must get a 4 dollar remote of ebay though

Jgiacalo : the remote just plugs into the front slot. It will do pause and skip forward and back. Just search ps remote on ebay. I think they are labeled for ps2 but they work on the one also
