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?

Mine was a Techniques $199, Best Buy special. Circa, 1988ish, it had the MASH circut that Zaikesman referred to earlier. I used it to play CD-R's until late last year until it finally took it's last breath and refused to to spit out a Miles Davis CD-R.

I can even tell you the four CD's I bought with my first player back in '88. Metallica, Aerosmith, Eagles, and ashamedly a Nugent colaberation with the guy from Lover Boy or Sticks or some such.
