Playstion one audiophile stereophile review


After reading review on stereophile on playstation one, I brought 2 same Model number 1001. They sound so transparent and details on vocal that my Sony sacd 777ES does not show. I borrowed different model number 5001 and 7001 from my friends and they sound not much different 1001. The different model number 1001 and others are the RCA output jacks comparing to
proprietary A/V multipin (yellow, red, and white). You should try to buy playstation one and comparing with your CD current source.

Mine really does sound great, best $15 I ever spent. Lots of mods and stuff if you search, mine is stock. Love the cheese factor, the look on my friend's faces when they hear my super cheapo system.
I built some speaker cables the search leads you to. I have more time than money these days.
As compared to my cheap Oppo, the PS1 is ultimately more enjoyable to me. The Oppo does present more detail, but this more explicit presentation is not as "musical" to me.
I would consider minor power supply upgrade, but lets face it, the thing cost me $15! Not looking for or claiming it beats out -anything else-, just think it sounds great.
I'm not the kind who thinks that higher tech/parts quality/price always means better sound. Sometimes cheap stuff just falls together to make results beyond the sum of it's parts.
Overall I don't find the sound as detailed as some, but not lacking. Also, it delivers a richness of sound that some players miss. Of course all opinions are based on a couple of humble systems I have used it in.
