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 the first Sony CDP-101 in Columbia MO with the exception of one at the local NPR station. It was awesome, digititis and all. It's gone as it lost its internal control chip and its not worth fixing. Now its a Sony transport and a Musical Fidelity TRI-VISTA 21 DAC. What a difference!
