and is overwhelmed with choices. Im not much help technology wise.
Her budget is $150 max.
Any input??
She doesnt have a big speaker system but does have a big smart TV with a decent sound bar.
Any all-in-ones that are good? With connections to her current iPhone? Recording options for flash drives?
She likes retro-looking.
Thanks, buds, in advance

Depending on how yard sales are in her area, she might find one there too.

Yes kids, at on time we had these massive wood cabinets that looked like a high end buffet table that had a receiver, turntable and speakers all in one.
God I loved that beast.
