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'll throw my mits in the ring. It was a "Fisher" Can't remember the model # I'm thinking it was around 1983-84. It was a piece of junk, but @ the time I thought it was so wonderful.

Having a CD player vs. a TT? No more cleaning records....Also, I remember my old JVC receiver (40 WPC) with nice walnut veneer sides w/ real glass faaceplate for the AM/FM section. Can't forget about my Cerwin Vega's U-123! I thought I was GOD!

How things change.
