Why does a Sony PlayStation sound good to me?
there's a lot of hoopla on the web and on stereophile about the original ps1 being an exceptional cdp, and i tell ya, there's something to it. like dylanfan says, it's not especially detailed or etched, but it has a really engaging vinyl-like soun...

Tone of Muisc, SF - worst hifi experience. Yours?
