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?

Yamaha CD-1.  Listed for 1300.00 USD.  Dealer gave me a good price on purchase price.  Fantastic sound.  It was MIND-BLOWING.

Talk about bringing an old thread back from the dead. My 1st CD player was a ADC 16/2R around 1984/85. I still have it along with my 1st Receiver purchased in High School (Technics SA-205). The CD Player still works and sounds REALLY Good.  This coming from somebody that currently has a Luxman D-08U, Esoteric K-01X and Marantz SA-10. High praise indeed.

Not really. Maybe one of those 90's Aiwa boxes. But nothing dedicated until my Cairn Fog in 2003.

My first CDP was a Sonographe (Conrad Johnson codification of a Magnavox?Philips machine).  It worked flawlessly for me until I replaced it with a Sony SCD-1 SACD/CD player.
