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?

I do not remember the model #'s of my first two cd players but the second two were a Hafler player and the JVC XLZ 1050 which was the first player I had owned that had an obvious sonic advantage over the others I had owned.

The first player I heard at a dealer that made my jaw drop was a Wadia ran through Levinson gear and Thiel 3.6's when they first came out.
