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?

Um, I had this little Magnavox boom box thing. It was awful. Just awful. It was soo bad, that...I'm sorry. I'm unable to continue.

(breaks down in tears)
When I first heard a CDP I thought it was awful & held out until Beatles CD's came out. I bought something (?) that I had for about 2 days then took it back & got a Mission PCM7000. Next I traded that in for a Nak MB-2s (like Joe above) so I could make tapes for the road. I gave the Nak to my brother when I bought a MF & although I have since moved on to other stuff, I recently got back the Nak from my brother. It still looks like new & works great in the bedroom system.
Yeah, a Sony CDP-302, now residing with much dust at my sister and brother-in-law's house.
