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?

My first player was an Alpine AD-7200. It was in the mid 80's and paid around $1K CDN for it. Kept it for several years and sold it. Used a Sony ?99 portable as makeshit until I purchased a used Sony. Had it for a few weeks and sold the thing. Had a couple more there after until I purchased the PD-65. Now having problems with lack of bass.

Using a cheap Toshiba dvd player at the moment. Can't stand the Pioneer at this point. Was discusted when I switched between the two. If I can't get it resolved soon I'll sell it to a non audiophile and purchase something else. Now between a rock and a hard place. Cheers!
