Do You Remember Your First CD Player?

I had owned the first of the first. I purchased the unit in 1982. It was a Sony CDP 101. It was the most obnoxious, raspy, annoying, piercing, grading, non-musical component I had ever heard.

Also, at the time, the complete CD library that was available consisted of about 15 CDs.

Now? I listen to my newest CD rig more than I listen to my turntable. My, how times have changed.

What was your first CD player and when did you purchase it?

A DUAL model %$#@ or something. Purchased it at a NYC shop in 1983 I think. This Dual CD player was in the initial wave of CD product offerings and had this funky front door which when opened would accept the disc vertically. Took forever (45 seconds) to cycle open and close. The contraption looked like a shoe box. Still have it somewhere in the attic surely. Audibly it was torture!

Hey.. Ya got me thinking EBay's vintage audio section??
