I just picked up an SCPH-1001 (original PS1) on eBay for 25 bucks. With the multi A/V out into a tube stereo, CDs sound fantastic. Not very convenient but a nice option.

The PlayStation really isn't a very good CD player. Its controls are clunky, and it has uneven frequency response and high distortion. But I guess it's less relevant, since you're feeding it to a tube amp anyway ;-)

Yea it hasn't been long enough for them to be thrown out yet. Most cars still have them too.
