I just took this photo. Is my setup next level? I RGB modded the Sony if it helps.

Those trinitrons were the goat of the day.
I had that TV back in the day. It was an amazing TV for it's time.

I’m old enough to remember when this was peak entertainment technology.
See, now that's just the TV stand for the newer TV on top!
But seriously, why the fake drawers in these? The drawer handles even rotated, but you'd just be pulling against the wood.

That's eerily similar to what I grew up with. Like: "are you my sibling, and is that actually my old house"-level similar.
Edit:nm - we had wood floors, and the fan on the right was white.
Peak would've been a grey Zapper.
Wow, old memory unlocked, we had that exact tv (or maybe another model that looked very similar). It was the good TV for a long time but never made it to be the less good TV in the basement because, well look at it, it's a tube TV built into a fucking cabinet, just throw it out.
I remember my parents had a Magnavox wood finish tv console. That fucker weight more then a collapsed star I swear it took 3 people to move it from one corner to another.

Twenty-seven years ago that 27 inch TV was huge!
Now most people need massive TVs, but still spend most of the time looking at the small screen on the phone.
Not me, I will refuse to watch any movie I’ve never seen on a tiny fucking phone screen. I at least have some standards
Same, I got a 65 inch OLED big boy for the cinematic experience. I’m going to use the bastard.

Then they put that massive TV so close to where they sit that it's just painful to actually watch anything on it because there is just no way you can get the entire image in your field of vision comfortably.
Maybe I am old, but I miss the days when people had some sense and bought TVs actually sized for the distance they will be sitting from it.

Haha I have this setup to this day.
I use it for my regular Nintendo and Sega Genesis.
It still is next level. Modern setups aren't nearly as cool. TVs mounted to the wall, game consoles on the floor, and who even has a dedicated stereo system anymore?
I have a stereo system still, complete with tape deck and turntable.
There are dozens of us! DOZENS!
I definitely would if I had the space and time to build it. Too many projects too little time (and space)

I would never in a million years would consider this as "next level" unless there's a MegaDrive behind those doors under the TV.
EDIT: those seem like DVD cases by the stereo, so I'll have to revise my previous comment and demand either a Sega Saturn, a Playstation or a Nitendo64.

That is one strong unit, the thought of the weight of those devices gives me back pain.

When the TV perfectly fit the cabinet. That's when you knew.
Kind of still is.
Fuck. I remember when that setup was science fiction.
We must go back
To play games from that era this is a next level setup.
What fascinates me is going back and watching TV shows designed for these size / type of capability TV's, and how much less there is going on, in any frame. The characters are central, there's no background action or skits, no huge flashing lights or whole moving cities, and it reminds me of the problems behind coco melon. I wonder if it does the same thing to adult brains it does to baby brains.
I have that exact Aiwa music player.
Last Sunday when I went back to my parents house, I noticed that the clock was blinking because there was a blackout, so I turned on and I saw that the 5 CD changer not only gets stuck but the laser doesn't see the discs anymore 😢
I'm sad

Thrift stores couldn't sell those cabinets 10 years ago and now they won't take them at all.

I don't feel nostalgic for the dark times when our televisions weighed 80 lbs just to beam us an inferior image. Sure, maybe for when being a teenager at the mall meant meeting girls and having a good time with friends walking around, buying nothing because we were all broke. But only the social aspects were better. I'll take today's entertainment any day of the week.

I mean, it's still pretty dope.
That sound system stack needs at least 6 more components.
My next level is going back to that. Not with a huge CRT or a full-blown hifi system, but a nice place with a screen, some offline way to play music/audio, a few books maybe…
I have two AF Toshibas. One 27 inches and the other 14. I would have more if I had a house. They are still awesome!
The turntable isn't even on the top of the hifi separates unit. Pathetic!
Yes, I played Nintendo games in emulator on mine, it was so great.
