Spotting audio gear in the movies, TV, etc.

How about Jerrys stereo in Seinfeld. I remember some big Cerwin Vega speakers on the floor with the grills removed. You could clearly see the red CV woofer surrounds.

There was a thread similar to this hear at AK awhile ago I can't find so here's some I remember.

"The Departed", Matt Damon's character's apartment had some modern McIntosh gear.

"High Fidelity" John Cusack's character's apartment had If I remember correctly some vintage Sansui gear not sure what TT he had though.

There was a Jason Statham movie were he had a tube amp and a pretty esoteric high-end TT

Speaking of "High Fidelity"....I watched that entire movie recently just for the scene where the hot wife is trying to sell her cheating husband's LP collection....and the network cut out the ENTIRE scene!

I cannot quite fathom excitement about movie/media props.

Buzzkill Alert!

I thought that was only a bonus scene on the DVD?

Here is a better image of Gene Hackman's sweet-ass mono hifi in The Conversation: reel-to-reel, amplifier, turntable, and speaker. I am not sure about the amp. Is that a Stromberg Carlson?

The turntable looks like a Rek-O-Kut.

It’s a great scene, it’s in the book as well. Highly recommend the book if you haven’t read it!

Ah, but do you have a licensed copy of the Maltese Falcon, or a copy of the 4 foot diameter Jupiter 2 Special effects model? I do.

We all know what this is the new Oceans 8 movie. Interweb says there is a MT5 in the movie but I could not find a pic.

Last night on "God Friended Me" they were in a music store and there were JBL 4312 monitors hung along the wall/ceiling interfaces.

I'm binge watching Midsomer Murders on Netflix and got to S17 Episode 3 and this scene literally made me shout out "whoah!"

The Musical Fidelity gear jumped out at me.

Not sure about the TT, though.

Found out what the amp in AHS:Apocalypse is!
Meixing Mingda MC368-B150.
Kind of surprised they actually blew a few bucks on a semi decent amp and didn't just go with a Monoprice hybrid.

Actual amp looks like this;

On the IFC channel there is a series called "Documentary Now" the 2nd season started a couple of weeks ago. The most recent episode called
“Original Cast Album: Co-Op” It' set in the 70's and is based on a recording session. In the background I spotted a rack of vintage Ampex gear, a H/K Citation Tube amp and there is another amp which I can't make out. See here at the 1:42 - 1:52 mark

I was watching "God Friended Me" last night and when they were showing the tech's place, I swear there was what looked just like a Philips 212 turntable on the shelf. There was also a black receiver of some sort, but was unidentifiable.

Go to ~22:20.

In the new-ish Levi's "Circles" commercial (also called "Let's Live How We Dance"), there is a Thorens TD-160 right at the beginning. Cool song too.

There must have been another thread like this somewhere, because I remember posting this pic of our old friend the Marantz 1060 on the Sopranos.

Here is a picture from the Playboy mansion in 67. Its not the picture I wanted but it will do. Ampex 351-2, Scott AM-FM tuner, Marantz 7C pre-amp, Rek-o-kut turntable and I don't recognize the changer. Maybe a Garrard.

Finnish ambassador had this stereo in 1986. Looks like early 1980's Technics. The screenshot is from Chernobyl-documentary.

Bosch on amazon listens to jazz on his Mac and Marantz turntable.Great series.
