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?

Yes, a Yamaha, forgot the model designation, but it was the one in a chassis that was not the usual full width. Was not the first model that Yamaha made, probably more like the second, but it was the first reasonably priced CD player that came out after the Sonys ans Philips.
