Must be Professional Industrial Equipment... :) Recording maybe :scratch2:

Soon someone on AK will tell us

Because below was his 'enjoyment' system - but maybe in a different house/room

Custom made cabinets too.
Wait...are those cigarette packs in the bowl?

However, Mr. Sinatra did not miss a chance to collect a few pennies for appearing in a hi-fi ad which implied his use of a well-known automatic turntable!

Looks a custom build job by a pro staff engineer, esp the radio which may be a Miller Hi Fidelity TRF uniform bandpass rig, the best AM reciever for sound ever was.

That's pretty ugly. I like and have seen pics here on AK of the second one, though.

Louis Armstrong was one of my music heroes. He spent his last 20years in a modest home in Queens. The building has been preserved for all to see. His stereo must be something else.

As I understand it, Armstrong's hobby was make home recordings on a reel to reel and had quite an exstensive collection of historical events and get togethers with freinds and family recorded. He even took a portable recorder on tour and vacation.
 
And Louis Armstrong loved Tandberg recorders, and owned Marantz gear and other fine gear. That FS photo looks like it belongs in a record mastering room.
 
Do you think he used the speakers on the RTR wall for vinyl playback? Not seeing dedicated speakers near the TT.

Either way, yes, I'd love a room like that, exactly as is.
