It was a Sony player, something like a 505es. I believe it had favorable write ups in Stereo Review or High Fidelity. I bought it in 1985 and it was bright and glared horribly through the treble range, and where was the dynamic range they promised? I replaced it with an es608 in 89 which I still own and use in a second system. I still like the es608.
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?
