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?

Was yours one that loaded the CDs vertically, where you pushed a button and the tray came out to abour 45 degrees, you laid the CD in and closed the tray, kinda like a cassette? That was my first CD player, around 1985, and I loved it. Of course I was 12 and didnt know any better. I had that little guy up until midway through college when it died.
