Has anybody else out there in netland bought a Technics CD player
recently? How long did it take them to send their CDs after you
mailed in the coupon? I haven't got mine yet, and it's been weeks.
The dealer has been no help and I can't find a phone number for
them.
Crass remarks from the anti-CD faction will be returned rotated.

That's funny, I sent mine in last week and UPS rolled up today with my CD's. -Ron

I don't know about Technics, but when I got my Sony CD player, they had an offer for five free discs. After waiting a couple of months, I called the number on my copy of the request form to inquire as to the delay, and was told that most of the discs that I had ordered (the Telarcs) were backordered, and that they were waiting for those to come in instead of shipping the order from the alternates I listed. I had to wait a total of four months. -- -roger long

I got the CDs yesterday. Technics took about 3 weeks to send them,
which wasn't too bad.
Apparently, everybody gets the same selections these are:
Michael Jackson Thriller
Men At Work <sorry, forgot the name>
Donald Fagen The Nightfly
Stravinsky/Borodin Firebird Suite/Overture and Polovtsian Dances
(Prince Igor)
Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture/Cappricio Italienne
Both the classical discs are from Telarc. Then Donald Fagen album is a
technical masterpiece. The Men At Work album is from an analog master,
but it's well-produced. I can't stand Michael Jackson, and this CD is
for sale or swap to anybody interested, $15.00 postpaid.

It took me around three-four weeks. Also, if your CD dealer is
worth anything, he'll let you trade some of the five disks for
what you REALLY want.

Unfortunatly, I was misinformed that I was going to get Nylon Curtain and some Streisand album rather than Night Fly and Men at Work. I went out and bought Night Fly because I heard it at a friends. My boss (who also bought the SLP7) who can't stand "pop" music gave me his Thriller and Night Fly (I guess he kept the Men at Work to demonstrate how much crud you can stick on the disk before it won't play). So now I have three copies of Donald Fagen and two Thrillers. -Ron

I, too experienced some delay in getting free CD's after purchase of a Sony CDP-101. The advertisements in the audio magazines led me to believe that any CD titles that were on the listed labels were okay to choose from. Appr. three weeks after I sent my sel- ections in, I got a list back from them stating appr. 40 titles that I could choose from, only one of which was in my original five picks. Three weeks after I sent that in, I got my discs. Anyone else have this particular problem or was it that I read the ad wrong?

I thought SONY and TECHNICS were different companies, but I must be wrong with all these replies coming from SONY owners about Technics CD freebies. Maybe I'm crazy WayneZ...

You need not be crazy, just lacking an important datum, to wit: Both Sony and Technics offered purchasers of their respective CD players a limited (very limited)((extremely limited))(((...whoa boy...down...)) as I was saying, choice of free CD discs. Sony's deal was widely advertised. Technic's was not. Both apparently left sour aftertastes instead of enthusiastic boosters. I bought the Sony. THe CD player is great. Their free discs aren't. hound!rfg
