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?

It was the Adcom GCD75(I think). It had an A-B button to repetition of any section of a track that you wanted. The FIRST time I saw a CD was in '86(I was 25 at the time). There was a girl that lived across the street that I was trying to "Get Busy" with. When i saw the silver disc, she said "Watch this" and threw it across the room. To my amazement, it played perfectly when inserted in the CDP.
