However, can we get that JVC player here in Malaysia? A friend told me it's about RM180, but I could not recollect if it's available locally or thru 'evilbay' or similar channels..

I followed the diyaudio thread for quite sometime. Interesting!

Y.C.,
I have a PS1 at home. even without modding, the audio is darn good! I have read extensively the thread at diyaudio. Nothing but praised although there are some that does not agree. There has been a marked increase in value on ebay after the PS1 is known be a good CDP.. I used to see a few being advertised in lelong but no more.. Anyone has done a full blown mods to the PS1? A survey: IF I can get someone locally to manufacturer a similar metal chassis like you see above, how many of you would be interested? How much are you willing to pay for such a chassis? Why am I asking? I have a friend who have a machine shop.. QUOTE(Y.C. @ Oct 20 2008, 12:07 AM) As an alternative to this transport, the Sony Play Station One (PS1) is reputed to be an extraordinary CD player, its sound same with CD players costing up to USD6,000. This post has been edited by jazzy939: Oct 20 2008, 09:51 AMI first read about Sony PS1 in Stereophile, a review by Art Duddley and now here: PS1 as CD Player. |

Y.C.,
I was not aware that the PS1 is still on sale there! The best price I saw in lelong was like RM160..negotiable. Nope, did not mod mine. Too much hassle lah! Even the JVC mods also, I am agreeing with you. Might as well buy that Sansui CDP! I have not come across anything similar with PS2 though... QUOTE(Y.C. @ Oct 20 2008, 04:08 PM) Jazzy, There is a shop within the complex opposite Nixie in JP selling a brand new PS1 for RM290 together with the games. If it is anything less than RM100 then it might worth the effort to buy it just to play play with mods. Since you already have a PS1, you did not mod your unit? As for me, I would not try to mod either the PS1 or JVC compo into CDP and transport proper; too much hassle for me. I thought PS2 looks much better especially the limited edition silver coloured ones, wonder if its CD playback capability is any good. Sorry folks, I have gone off topic but don't mean to hijack the thread. |

It looks quite similar to EZ-31, except it's black.. price wise?

Guys, a question.
ringgit to ringgit if we were to compare this shigaclone and a CDROM transport kit, which would be 'best value for money'? thanks in advance! |
