I was going to give my son a system, with brand new Solid Steel rack but he has AirPods???

OK. So, I'm not trying to force him to do anything, so hopefully that's cleared up.
I bought him the stand because I Bought one for myself and figured at least he could put his TV on it along with something to go with it like the turntable, or home theater receiver, etc.

I think the larger statement, which I didn't relay, is that of all the people I know, hear two of them play music aloud at home- and one is my daughter.

Oh boy did I take a bit of lashing from some of you. I didn't say I was crying over it, I just wanted to share, discuss, and listen.
I come from a musical family, and my son plays a clarinet really really well. He loves music, I thought I had an opportunity to do something nice for him, which he always appreciates, and was surprised. When the family is all together (5 of us) we play cards, board games, and other stuff, and all 3 of my kids pull records off my shelves, clean them first, and put on what they want to hear. We must have had the TT spinning 5-6 hours a day during the previous hard months of COVID. Naturally, I thought this would be a great no reason present for my son who is going to school for Mechanical engineering, He loves the TT's and watches reviews on YouTube with me, and thinks it's a good looking rack. He actually picked the SS rack and put it together for me. I thought he would enjoy my gift. Some of these comments seem like I'm a jerk. I'm not.
If anyone can suggest the best place to sell the rack I would appreciate it. I got all kinds of scams from Craigslist when I sold the heavy bag I had in my basement, and who wants to pay shipping on something this heavy.

Thank you Frogman.
My son has been to the N.Y. Philharmonic, but I couldn't get him to the operas (no surprise there); he himself has played and competed on the state local, regional and state levels and scored extremely high.
He loves a lot of good classic rock and a little classical. He's into the indie bar scene and listens to a lot of alternative music on Spotify. I told him I'm saving the equipment a while for him in case he changes his mind. The rack I have to sell because it's still in the box and it will go down in value, whereas the other equipment has kind of plateaued in value At not much at all.

Thanks for all the input, I sold everything except the Scoutmaster which I'll put up for sale as soon as I stop being lazy.
