Schipo,
My first CD purchased was Michael Jackson Thriller
French_fries,
My first CD player was the WDR-50 (Walkman CD player) - all bought the same year it came out (1985). I still have both and both still work and I feel both live up to the promise of digital. Not perfect but compelling enough for me ('ol tin ears} compared to previous generation technology.
I guess I was an early adopter. CD has been good enough so far and I have not felt compelled to go to DVD-A or SACD (yet)...although I find DVD 5.1 just as compelling as CD's were (DVD previous generation technology was VHS).
