An Article from a website on how the Playstation Model SCPH-1001 is a recent Phenomena in the Audiophile world:
"Sometimes we get these tips that come out of left field. We got one late last night from reader Riku, who talks about his dads unusual acquisition for his high-end audio setup:
My fathers hobby is to search for "the perfect sound" making him a high-end audiophile. I was very surprised when I saw an old Playstation 1 (Version SCPH-1001) plugged into his super expensive audio rig. He told me, that that particular version of the console has RCA-inputs in the back which has a superb sound output. The console has become an underground sensation in the Hi-Fi scene. He told me to check out some articles at 6moons.com, an audiophile website. (Below is that Article)"
Here is the review below from 6moons.com an amazing High End Audiophile website.
Below is also a picture of the reviewers set up and article below and you can notice the Playstation SCPH-1001 in his case with all of his other extremely high-end audio equipment, as it was in mine before this sale.
The unit I have is in Pristine, Mint Condition looks Brand New factory fresh but happens to be the special Original SCPH-1001 Model that has Audiophiles around the world talking.
"For those of you who have been following the Music Lovers Series introduction, you already know that music lovers interests inhabit a parallel universe to the one most audiophiles live in. The music lovers universe is music-centered instead of focused on the sound universe of audiophiles, absolute or otherwise. Music lovers want HiFi equipment that flatters all music regardless of how well it is recorded because theres lots of great music that isnt recorded that well. The equipment must serve the music, not the music the equipment as is often the case in audiophile circles. Music lovers often want a presentation just to the warm side of neutral, with a natural and organic presentation with plenty of tone color and musical texture. Music lovers want to experience the full glory of the musics beat, rhythm, melody and mood in such a way that they can get lost in the music. Their gear must possess that elusive and controversial element called musicality. A HiFi system that plays music really well can forever change your perspective on what this hobby is all about. Ultimately it can change your life for the better. That is why my little tongue-in-cheek motto for the Music Lovers series is "Save the music, save the world".
Ive come across a complete HiFi system that I think is the epitome of the Music Lovers experience. In fact, I like it so much that Ive purchased it for my own listening enjoyment and plan to use it as my reference for the Music Lovers series thats my focus this year. I guess you can view my purchase of the system as the sincerest form of recommendation there is.
The First Music Lovers Recommended System
Logistics rarely allow for assembling a complete system for review but it turned out in this case that all the moons aligned. I had already picked the Harbeth Super HL5s as my reference speakers for the Music Lovers series and couldnt have been more tickled when the Leben CS600 integrated arrived for review and worked so gratifyingly well with my Harbeths. The combination provided a magical musical experience with every kind of music I threw at it.
I was (and still am) so impressed that I laid down my own hard-won greenbacks to acquire the Leben CS600 as my reference Music Lovers integrated amplifier. Thus was born the idea of the first source-to-speakers recommended system for Music Lovers. I chose the Auditorium 23 speaker cables made by Keith Aschenbrenner in Germany which have proven unfailingly musical in every application Ive tried them in. Keith doesnt make interconnects because he doesnt feel he can improve on those made by Ken Shindo in Japan, hence his Auditorium 23 speaker cables are voiced to be a synergistic match with the Shindo silver wires. Since I also had the Shindo interconnects in-house as part of an upcoming all-Shindo feature review, it made sense to give them a whirl in this system too - and they delivered in spades.
During all this audio fun, my pal Pete Riggle stopped by with an audio underground digital favorite, the Sony Playstation 1 (Model No. SCPH-1001). I had heard rumors of just how good this particular version of the PS1 is when used as a CD player and was curious to give it a listen. This video game player really does have outstanding audio performance. Im guessing youd have to spend more than $6000 on a one-box CD player to equal let alone better it.
So there you are, the first Music Lovers recommended system consisting of the Sony Playstation 1 as a Redbook digital source, Shindo silver interconnects, Leben CS600 integrated amplifier, Auditorium 23 speaker cables, and Harbeth Super HL5 loudspeakers sitting on Skylan stands. Its a slam-dunk musical treat thats ridiculously good where it counts - with the music!
