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?

Sony CDP-610ES back in the mid-1980s. Bought each Telarc CD as it was released -- I remember the store used to keep their CDs behind glass.

Perfect sound forever. :-)

High School graduation present, 1990. A sony single disc player, but I can't remember the exact model number - something like CDP-486. I used it, and my roomate's similar player extensively when DJing in college. Sadly my guitar amp fell on it 2 years ago. Up until then it still worked...

Denon DCP-100 portable bought in fall of 1990. With a pair of headphones it was my entire system for years. After buying a cheapo Kenwood 5-disk unit it went into a closet only to resurface last fall when I picked up some old gear & needed a cd player. Kind of like an old hammer - it's not fancy, it just works.
