The best stereo purchase I ever made was a shelf system. I think it's O'Sullivan. It's just wide enough for all components. On casters. The shelves are all fixed. Top to bottom: CD changer,Receiver, (both of these are eye level), Turntable area, tape deck, LP storage area. It's easy to roll out from the wall to get at the wires, then roll back. I never seem to play my LP's so a reuse of those areas might be in order.

The tape deck & CD changer are the newest pieces. The receiver & speakers are the ones I bought 25 years ago. For FM reception, I use really old "rabbit ears." The AM radio reception is not great. The receiver is so old it has no presets & no remote. If there's a brand that's especially good, I'd like to hear about it. I'm in the US.

If I can figure out where all the wires go, anyone can!
