....Same as the old Realistic Tape Control Center.

This is the 2nd one I own, both purchased thru Ebay. I bought it so my Teac & Sony cassette decks could both be used. This is installed on my shelf where my Technics TT, Burwen 7000A Transient Noise Eliminator, NAD phono preamp, Teac A-103, & Sony TC-WR535 are. The TT is plugged into the phono preamp, which is then plugged into the Burwen 7000A, which is plugged into the RTCC, which is then plugged into my integrated amp. The Teac & Sony cassette decks are plugged into the RTCC, which has 3 monitor loops, so I have 1 more available to me for future use. The line in to the RTCC is the source & I can select whether I want to listen to the source or decks 1-3.

I think I am now out of RCA stereo patch cables.

It's the most useful hi-fi accessory you'll ever use.

In all seriousness, if you have multiple tape decks or other recording decks, a tape monitor switchbox like this is very nice to have. I lucked into getting one for only $7.49 on Ebay. You can usually get them there for $10-$25. The RTCC I have with the dials is the 2nd one Realistic made, I think. The version before this one had 7 switches & looked like a jumbled mess IMHO. I'm glad they changed it to this design. (Photo of old RTCC courtesy of www.hifimuseum.info)
