Went to a sale and there was some audio equipment I really wanted but others were faster than I. Needing a CD player for my bedroom and seeing this was one of the last equipment left I went to go pick it up one handed like all CD players. Ooof. Nope. Grabbed it by two hands and lifted. Oof. Nope. I was laughing at this point. Then I got serious and with some effort got it off the shoulder height shelf. I thought what's in here bricks?Sat down wondering what the heck this thing was.Yamaha first CD player! 1983 & 40lbs. Wow! Found an outlet hopping it worked and bam, started right up. Found the box for it too. No manual though. Wondering where he kept this box as it looks brand new!Anyway, brought it home and the CD by Peter White titled Confidential is like nothing I heard before. Best I can describe the sound is that it plays with "authority". Bass is large, has oomph and solidity behind it while the highs are spot on. Music was IN the room bouncing around me. Oddly enough the volume I had to actually turn down on the receiver.Another interesting feature was the slide out tray on the right. I was afraid to press open as I didn't see a slot. I kept looking and looking at it and finally after five minutes cringing I pressed it. Surprise! The buttons slide out with the tray. Cool.Excited I have their first CD player. Even if I was embarrassed trying to pick it up.
