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?

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.
The Carver CDP with tubes. Purchased late 80s. Used with a PS Audio Elite integrated, Vandersteen 1Bs and Kimber cables.
