Turntables in the movies

[nadude98]

I recently watched the movie The Answer Man. In the movie Jeff Daniels character suffers from a bad back and is laid out listening to a record skip. What brand it that turntable.....it looks darn sexy!

Supra sexy!

Any pics of it? Maybe a screen capture from a DVD or YouTube? Might help others to identify it, and even if we can't, turntable porn is always a pleasure!

Saw that movie. When he put the record on, I looked at my girlfriend and said, "Hey, that looks like the McIntosh MT10." She rolled her eyes. (The game of guessing the component in a movie started boring her long ago.) Sure enough, McIntosh Labs was mentioned in the closing credits.

Here's the link:

Now thats a Platter. Looks like a block of ice.

I don't doubt that it's good, but does it really need the mcintosh faceplate? Looks way out of place and awkward.

I can't remember what he had it paired with in the movie, but I'm pretty sure it was sitting on some other McIntosh components and the whole set-up looked pretty good. I'd tend to agree, though, that I like turntables to look like turntable and amps to look like amps.

I was thinking the same thing.

There's a second image on that page that shows the thing in profile. The platter is thick enough that it rises above the faceplace. I mean, if someone were to twist my arm, I s'pose I'd take it. If I had to....

The Mac is supposed to be a very good sounding TT. :yes:

Whoever did the visual design of the thing should be taken outside on a hot summer day for thirty consecutive days,smeared with honey and staked over and ants nest for half an hour. :nono:

What they did to that TT(visually) was a crime.

It's a Sota - they're a sponsor and that particular TT was discussed here several months ago - I think a consensus was finally reached on which model it is.

Supra sexy!

Yes it is.....

 

[Metalownz]

It almost looks like a component system. Thats what turns me off from this thing. But id love me an old Mac 1700 receiver!

 

[Mike Stehr]

I've been curious to what broadcast turntable that is next to Super Soul (Cleavon Little) in Vanishing Point.

The tonearm is as big as a baseball bat.........

 

[turbomustang]

I guess I have bad taste but I like that McIntosh Turntable.

I kind of like it too........that's why I was asking about it. At 10k out of my price range by about 9.7k.....
