Do you need a tv screen to be able to move/click between songs? (I dont have a tv in my listening room).
Is it possible to use a wireless controller with a PS1 1001 (original big model)? There are some PS1 wireless controllers but not sure if they work with the older PS1s. Thanks
There is no infra red sensor on the old PS1 1001, so how does one use a wireless controller with it?
Have been listening to my "new" PS1. Am very happy, uncoloured sound, not tiring to listen to... the sound has a lot of integrity, the highs lows and mid range work well together. It sounds better than my SCD-777es does on redbook although i miss the extra "air" of the sacd format.

It is an exaggeration to say this offers more fidelity than say a Wadia 861 which I have heard. The Wadia had more texture in the detail. But I have not heard a $1500 or even $2000 that sounds better.

I think it is cool to go against the grain and have a PS1 rather than something with brush aluminum plates... it adds to my maverick image with my friends!
