Anyone tried the original Playstation 1 for CD?

thanks for the fuse info. I stumbled on fuse upgrades looking for a better
polarized cord or adapter but may not have investigated further without your comments. I've had my playstation for just over a week and it is easily the best digital source I've used. My girlfriend thinks I'm kind of crazy but also thinks it sounds pretty amazing. Not bad for twenty bucks.

The Playstation 1's SMPS is actually good with the upgraded power cord and fuse. I chose an Isoclean fuse over the HiFi Tuning fuse since it is UL-approved. The dynamic range is noticeably better with the Isoclean fuse. A friend of mine who also uses a Playstation 1 for his digital source also installed an Isoclean fuse in his unit, and he started hearing more into the music. The Playstation does a great job at resolving subtle details. With the fuse upgrade on top of the power cord upgrade, I can hear a lot more of the interplay between musicians, especially where bells, triangles and other percussion instruments are used. Some background vocals are better conveyed as well.

I purchased one and didn't think much of it. I ran Purist Audio's Burn In Disc and was very pleased with the results. I am not a tweak guy but this is one tweak which works in my system. Bass is deeper and more defined.

Okay, I know this is an ancient thread but I didn't want to start yet another playstation thread...

When someone says it takes 2 days of warmup to reach peak sound--is that simply being turned on or is that with the CD being played/read?

It takes having the Playstation 1 to be turned on for about two days. You don't necessarily have to play CDs. The sound just seems to open up after a full day on.
