My first CD player was a Meridian MCD. Purchased it somewhere between 1984 and 1985. Sweet sounding machine, especially for its time. But the damn thing would overheat. My dealer got so frustrated with dealing with it that he offered me a very generous credit that I could put towards anything I wanted. I put the credit towards the purchase of a Revox B126 which served me faithfully for 25 years or so until it finally gave up the ghost in 2012.
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.
