I just started watching Mindhunter and it's pretty awesome. It's set in the 70's and is very different from what I thought. It is NOT the same tired, old FBI-chasing-serial-killers story.
 
In the ECM Records documentary Sounds and Silence: Travels with Manfred Eicher, the video shows Eicher listening via a system in his office. There is actually a thread here on AK where members tried to figure out the equipment he is using.

I'm guessing Harman Kardon gear with Meridian speakers?

Yes that is HK 700 series components. EQ7 equalizer and 440xm cassette. Don't know what the CDP is. See my previous post, he should have gone for the 775 mono amps in my opinion :) if I knew what the speakers were I've forgotten.
 
Watching an above average rom com, "Amanda & Jack Go Glamping", and there is an unusual turntable changer in their trailer that they listen to.

I got my first R2R because of how goddamn ASMR the intro to Mindhunter is with the TC-510-2. Just turns my brain to jelly. (and makes me jelly!)

So gear porn...:bowdown:

Actually, almost everyone in a new movie under 40 has an audio system......its their I Phone and ear buds because that's how they listen....so the stereos are seen mostly in the jogging scenes..

Here is a stereo I spotted just now while I was watching the new season of Marvels Jessica Jones from Netflix.
Only have seen the one speaker so far, along with a turntable, cassette deck and what looks like a receiver.

Anybody have a clue what those speakers and components are?
They seem familiar to me.
 
Seems odd that no one has mentioned House. So cool that SOTA was a sponsor, and House rocking out with vinyl in his office, too.
 
Whoever directed this Geico ad is really in love with these JBL speakers, and features them in almost every shot. I don't know JBL that well; what model are they?
