Quick-Fix Mini Home Stereo System: An Alternative to Larger Stereos

Okay, I’m cheap. I admit it. And I’m always looking for some way to get the same results with things I have stashed around the house.

Why not, right?

I mean it saves me space, money and I’m able to put something to good use that has been sitting around for awhile.

In this case, it’s a stereo system that has been the object of my interest.

I have been looking around my house for a place to put my portable CD player, so that I could connect it to my speakers and get similar results as a larger stereo system.

At first I planned on putting it on a wall mounted shelf I have, but when I added the stand to my room I realized that was the perfect place for my mini stereo system.

I found it at the thrift store last year some time. The table used to hold my television, but since I no longer needed it for that, I put it in my bedroom to serve as a subsitute for a night stand.

It holds my table lamp, phone, miniature clock and now my mini stereo system.

I have a bottom shelf to the table and since I’ve put it down there, I’ve tried it out several times and I love it!

The great thing about it is that I don’t just have to resort to listening to CDs. My portable CD player also has a radio station so I can tune into a channel I like and listen to the radio at anytime.

I’ve gone without one for quite awhile so excuse me for my enthusiasm. I’ve had it around and I’ve used it here and there but for the most part it’s been stored away and I only pulled it out when I needed it.

I found the circumstance annoying, but as I said above, I couldn’t figure out where to put it. So I made do with pulling it in and out on an as-needed basis.

But now that it’s in a permanent place, I’m thinking about checking out some audio books from the library, easing back in my chair or laying in bed and listening to some stories.

Anyway, maybe you like that idea. If so, you can always do the same thing.

It’s definitely cost-effective if you have a set of speakers lying around and a CD player that’s no longer in use, and you have simple tastes.
