Stumbled across this in my browsing. A 1985 news story on the debut of newfangled compact disc players.

Must have been pretty mind blowing at the time. My dad used to be like the audiophile guy in this story. He bought a Pioneer CD player shortly after they came out. Still has it and it still works. Amazing that 30 years later and we're back to buying LoFi music again.
Two other things I love about this:
-The CD factory guy's hair
-That someone in the YouTube comments found the audiophile guy on Facebook. It's definitely him. Gotta love technology.
