The Compact Disc revolution: Part 1: 20 iconic CD players
In the mid 1970's the engineers at Philips came up with the concept of a 'compact disc' that would replace vinyl because it was; of 'superior' quality, smaller, quieter (no clicks or crackles), indestructible, portable and just 'better'. By 1982 their idea became a reality. In 1983/84 over 400,000 CD Players were sold in the US alone! This is the story of how the CD came about, the technology behind it, and the rapid development that ensued. I nominate 20 iconic CD players from across the decades.
