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?

I bought my first CDP late in 1999. Talk about early adopters. My s.o. was so happy--she could now buy music and listen to it (she'd been afraid to use the Linn Sondek).

It was the turn of the millennium and we danced it in with the player--a Cambridge Discmagic transport and Dacmagic 1 converter. Horrible converter, sound like a plush toy, all warm and fuzzy. Turned it in on the same company's IsoMagic as soon as I could.
