Movies or TV Shows Where Audiophile Equipment Are Seen

[vdi_nenna]

List Movies or TV shows where you've seen high end separates or where audiophile audio equipment is displayed. This will probably be a short list.

Here's my list.

The Conversation- Gene Hackman, tube gear, vinyl

Love Potion #9- Sandra Bullock, Krell gear

Indecent Proposal- Robert Redford, Not sure of gear but nice looking stuff.

Californication- David Ducovney, Avid TT and Krell amps, I think.

The Mechanic- Jason Statham, tube and vinyl gear

Daredevil (Netflix)- Vincent D'Onofrio B&W speakers

9/12 Weeks- Micky Rourke and Kim Basinger, Nakamichi Dragon? tape deck. Actually shows tape flipping sides. I rewound that part a few times. Priorities.

American Psycho- Christian Bale, Looks like NAD or Rotel

Pulp Fiction- John Travolta and Uma Thurman, reel to reel tape.

Dressed to Kill- John Travolta, There was some DIY in there. I 'm pretty sure Brian DePalma was into electronics and attended MIT, if I remember correctly.

Blow Out- John Travolta, More DIY. More Brian DePalma writing and directing

Friends tv show (Martin Logan)

Friends also had some Cerwin Vega and the B&W pod speakers in various seasons.

Look in the background of many movies with racks of gear and its very often pro audio gear(studio/PA) in racks to look like professional surveillance equipment, example would be the Bourne movies.

So the time travelling Delorean wasn’t enough of a give-away that the fun of the narrative superseded laws of physics and fragility of the human body?

Bosch - Amazon tv series, has a McIntosh tube amp and some interesting looking speakers.

Not sure anything was connected or situated in a way that a serious listener would want.

The cassette deck is actually a Nakamichi RX-505. Cool deck.

BTW, there is a Nakamichi Dragon in that movie: a Nakamichi Dragon CT turntable. It's seen just briefly on top of the component stack.

On Elementary, Sherlock has a McIntosh C2300 preamp.
