Cool stereos in Movies

Yeah...There was one posted on a "used-stuff" site in Winnipeg a few years back and I was certainly tempted but the stories I've heard about troubles with the turntable and the asking price of $2,000 prevented me from pulling the trigger on not much more than an art-piece.

 

ClearAudio Reference with tangential tonearm in the first Tomb Raider.

 

SOTA is listed in the end credits.

 

TV Show: Midsomer Murders

Note the stack of Musical Fidelity gear

 

The Marantz is a tuner only, not a receiver.

8-track cartridge player on top of the NAD CD player may be a Superscope?
Pretty sure that the cassette recorder/player is a Nak. A low-end late 1980s model, like a 150.
Notice the tube power amp of some sort at the far right top shelf.
The black-face box is hard to guess- could be either a preamp or integrated amp, likely 1980s. Could be Pioneer Elite, Marantz, Revox, Sansui, or ???

 

Speakers are small Advents. TT a Garrard, maybe. I had a lot of guesses about the amp. Browsed eBay, nothing yet. Grommes, maybe. Or an early Crown.

 

Mentioned in another thread:

 

You are correct. It's a Sansui AU series integrated amp probably from the 70s.

 

Yes. Judging from ~Bay, it's an AU-7700, from the mid 1970s.

 

There not Fishers.

 

True. They were made by Hermon Hosmer Scott, who got together after hours with Avery Fisher to drink, arm-wrestle, and argue about who made the best sounding amplifiers.

 

Interesting choice of EQ settings.

 

Turntable (I believe it is a Pioneer, but may be mistaken) and Marantz Receiver (may be the Marantz model 2238B) used in Gremlins

 

Denon DP-62L turntable, among other electronics, used at Jake's house in Sixteen Candles

 

Also nice is the ONE loudspeaker.

 

Was just watching this tonight and trying to figure out what speakers he owns. Maybe KLH?

 

Watching Polanski's "Carnage" last night, I couldn't stop looking at the bookshelf system in the apartment. Anyone recognize the components?

 

I saw that NAD CD player recently at Value Village for $15.00. I put in a disc to test it and it couldn't read it.

 

I don't know if was mentioned, so I will ask.
Does anyone know what the reel to reel system is in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo?
It's in the main bad/evil character of the movie, his house on the property.
It's shown maybe twice, towards the end of the movie when he has Daniel Craig hostage.
Cool/high end system is what I always say when watching it with someone.

Cheers
