Happy New Year Gary:
I usually use a High gloss on most of my cabinets, but I do understand your thinking especially with a smaller cabinet.
I have heard that you can cut down the gloss look by buffing it over with a 0000 steel wool, BUT I have never tried that.
If I was going to try it I would first try it on another piece of wood, that has the same finish you put on your radio., just to see how it turned out.
You don’t want to mess with the cabinet unless you know it will work.
