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?

Nakamichi OMS 7, still have it but of course it doesn't work. It worked flawlessly for 13 years and started skipping one day. Sound wasn't too bad with 16X oversampling. Went back to vinyl though and occasionally listen to redbooks on a Sony XA20 ES
