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?

Yeah, a Sony CDP-302, now residing with much dust at my sister and brother-in-law's house.

My first CD was Madona's Blue (something...) I remember that I cried like a baby on 12/31/84 while listenning to this CD...NO, it wasn't because of the CD..I was watching the news and saw a Hotel on fire and people jumping from it. Imaging the impact on New Years Eve. Several people died burnned and squashed from the jump. It was terrible, and YES , the CD player too.....

Nakamichi OMS-1 purchased for $300 in 1988. I still have it and it works most of the time. Still sounds better than most of the mainstream junk out there.
