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


AirPods and iPhones have replaced good 2 channel audio, it's criminal. They don't buy albums, CDs, or even the full album downloads. They've replaced my old 45s with mp3s.
I got him a Solid Steel rack and I can't return it, so what do I do? Sell it on eBay for local pickup or wait for him to get smart. You would think a mechanical engineer wants a Scoutmaster and a beautiful really well designed audio rack. I get he doesn't necessarily want my old Rotel amp and preamp, but I have a set of B&W CM2s on stands and he could get himself a home theater integrated amp and use the system to watch Movies at the least.
Where have we gone wrong?

At least he’s listening to music.  As an aside, kids today have access to all kinds of music that we could have only have dreamed of when we were their age. 
He doesn’t own a system and the first thing you buy him is an audio stand?  What teenager doesn’t like “furniture” as a gift?
