'funny how we thought that CDs sounded good? How did that happen?'

Exactly ! I was thinking this the other day. Funny thing is I can still remember my first CD - Simon & Garfunkel, Parsley Sage etc . And I remember very well being bowled over by the sound. There was a late night radio show - they played only CD's - a novelty at that time. I think is was Thursday nights from 10-11pm or something. Late night listening. I never missed one show. The excitement of hearing the latests CD's...Supertramp in super fidelity...

And now...I am just wondering whether I was just living the marketing hype, or whether it was actually true for me , my sysem and ears at the time. Whether perhaps my Technics SL-something table (my dad still has it and he uses it regularly) was just not as good as my then very expensive Yamaha CD-player (2000 Dutch Guilders at the time - I was still at home, and it took a lot of cars to wash to get to that amount back then :-). And of course that instant, random track access thingy. And the lack of noise. And the fact that you could not really scratch them (we were told). And those nice silver dics. Hell, it sounds good doesn't it - LOL.
