Reddit reviews WALI Floating Strengthened Tempered Glass for DVD Players, Cable Boxes Games Consoles, TV Accessories (CS202), 2 Shelf, Black

Thank you! I'm fairly proud of the cable management, because I'm usually terrible with it.

Shelf is from Amazon, here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UB062ZQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_BBpZzbHNGFBZ0

I think it'd be cleaner if you could put those consoles away in the cabinet or maybe get something like this. That's my only real critique, it's not a bad station

Something like this

It is an essential oil diffuser. The shelves for the PS4 are just glass shelves from amazon. This is the link:

Hey guys,
So, my mom is wanting to upgrade her old equipment to something newer/better. Please forgive me if this isn’t the correct sub to post to.

Current setup:
I don’t have much specifics on the current equipment (model numbers etc)

-Sony TV, works fine. 2 HDMI ports I believe and one analog video (RCA). Doesn’t appear to be “Smart” and doesn’t have apps

-Old Phillips 5-disc CD player / radio / tape

-2 old Sony speakers from the 90s
-Apple airplay receiver (not shown, can’t remember what it’s called but it’s the old unit that looks like a large all in one A/C adaptor and plugs directly into the wall)

-BluRay player

-Comcast box

-Wii (optional, for the grandkids)

Thoughts/needs:
She really loves to listen to a lot of music. But 99% of it is CDs and classical music on NPR. A few years I went down the road of ripping her CDs into MP3s but she’s constantly out of space on her phone and most of her stuff is not on streaming services. She also doesn’t like the huge floor standing speakers she has anymore and wants something with good sound but affordable and not too big.

I’m thinking about mounting the TV on the wall and adding in those shelves that mount below it for the cable box and BluRay player. And just for compactness i was leaning towards some kind of sound bar. Sound quality is important but nothing really expensive. An alternative I guess could be speakers mounted next to the TV or in the corners near the ceiling (but then I’d need a sub probably). Her living room is pretty small so nothing huge is needed. To keep things simple I was trying to stay away from a separate receiver but if you think she could benefit from one then please let me know!

I’m really struggling with the CD situation. I’ve got her slightly interested in Spotify but the fact that her CDs are rare/oddball and not on major services is proving to be a challenge. For those with more experience, would uploading her stuff to Google Music be a good option? Then she could stream + cast it from her phone to a BT sound bar? Or can the BluRay player function as a “stand-alone” CD player? When I say stand alone I mean the ability to play CDs without having to turn on the TV. It has a “Coax Digital” out but I don’t have any experience with how that works or if it’s possible with a sound bar.

So I guess the biggest advice I need are how you guys recommend handling the CDs and also the speakers. Feel free to comment on anything else though, of course.

Thanks in advance!

DVD wall mount. Opened it and realized it would work on my wall. I don't feel like going through returns. Come get it for 10 bucks.
