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?

It was 1985, somewhere around that time, plusr or minus one year.
I was going to college and had little disposable income.
A local radio station had this promo where they'd read out a number combination that you needed to find in a dollar bill. I had a match, called in, and won. I think it was three 5's.

The prize station's frequency, $103.50. I went to a RS, and they had a discontinued model on sale for $99.
