Playstation Ps1. Anyone?

[Chris Skelton]

I'm looking for a PS1 SCPH-1001 Playstation for hi-fi use. I'm a complete novice to gaming, but there was one that had proper Phono outlets on it, not just the usual output cable (Scart?)

Any help much appreciated, and I'll feed back the results of listening tests!

Hi Chris,

Just checked my old ps1 and sorry, it only has the "multi out" on the back. You could break out the L+R audio channels on the scart lead by soldering a decent audio grade co-ax to the pins with phono plugs at the end.

I would like to know what experiment you are planning....hi-fi is a big hobby of mine!

It's the SCPH-1002 you'd want. SCPH-1001 is the NTSC version for USA/Canada, runs on 110 volts (and smokes like hell when you hook it to 240!). SCPH-1002 is PAL.

I have an old playstation lead that has scart and phono leads.

Word on the street is that the first gen ps1's made great cd players that rivaled the likes of arcam etc for audio fidelity. Personally i couldn't tell the difference.

Until the laser packed in, which is a very common problem with Playstations. My original Jap ps has the phono outputs and S-Video output sockets on the back. I was never really that impressed with the sound quality of audio cd's tho.

Yes, that's what I'd read. Was trying to put together what 6 Moons site call a $266.77 system (I think) with PS1 (O.K. PS1-UK!) plus Sonic Impact amp and Zigmahornet speakers (single, full range units with custom drivers, that I plan to make when free time appears before I die). Supposed to sound quite awesome(ly better than you'd expect)

But I have plenty of spare CD players really anyway.......may check locally at games shops.
