That’s a Pioneer RT-909… Just an FYI.
I used to own an RT 707, and have always loved the silver seventies pioneer era.

He may need to hide the two remaining cables 
It’s a ploy, wifey will point this out and he’ll get big brownie points for fixing it . VERY clever thinking !

Yes, but was not the motivation
The essence of “mission control.”
That kind of comment is what gets us all goofball audiophools accused of being so weird…
But I totally agree!!!

I had a Nak 700 …I though it was the trickest mechanical device I ever owned…even adjusting the head while playing to make sure the head was tracking the tape path correctly. Loved that thing!
Of like most audio toys…I always wished I had the cash for the 1000…TOTL! But in later years I did finally get my R2R Tandberg…
Loved that thing!

The RPi4 and display + OSMC remote have really transformed my listening experience.
I can now sit far back on the couch, get Roon radio going, and with the remote i can flip forwards and backwards on the songs, adjust the volume, and just really enjoy the music. The best part is i can do it all without having to unlock my phone to control Roon or get up to adjust the volume knob on the amp. i find the phone so distracting, as I always tend to end up surfing the web or facebook. The only time i really have to unlock my phone is to add the song as a favourite; i wish there was a way to program one of the buttons on the OSMC remote to automatically add the current song playing to my favourites list.
The rpi4 serves mainly as a display for my SOTM Roon endpoint. I have a usb cable going out of the RPi4 when i want to run librespot for spotify.
i highly recommend this set up for couch listeners…!

Nice and neat!
What display are you using? The case for the screen is very compact.
