Best Hi Fi on TV?

You were right. I checked in google. It’s orange clock.

Ah yes. Weren’t there some B&W minipod blue speakers also on display in other episodes?

I was always a bit disappointed that they had a lovely pair of electrostatics but no evidence of any kit to drive them. It must all have been on a lively rack on the fourth wall :wink:.

Robert Redford spun a few tunes on a serous looking turntable in Indecent Proposal. I think it was the top of the range Clearaudio.

LP on the floor is Art Garfunkel - Watermark.

Film rather than TV, but I’m surprised this one hasn’t been mentioned yet…

Mia’s Teac X-2000M from Pulp Fiction.

And then of course there was the Nakamichi RX-505 used in 9 1/2 Weeks…

Nice kit, but no wires!

No idea what this kit is, but from a great film “as good as it gets” with Jack Nicholson playing a single male (Melvin) with OCD. A very funny and heartwarming film.

I can spot a nice Harman Kardon 430 receiver at the bottom of the middle stack.

You’ve got to love the way the YouTube video title suggests that it’s the Nak that’s the most significant aspect of that film sequence. I’m sure the viewing public felt the same.

Nothing wrong with the priorities of hifi buffs, eh?

@Ebor 9 1/2 weeks was the burn in time surely?

That’s what I’ve always assumed. Is there another interpretation of the title that’s passed me by?

I find it depressing that some people seem determined to perceive all sorts of sexual innuendo in a perfectly good informative film about classic 80s hifi. Some people just have their minds in the gutter.

I spotted this Naim reference in the 2nd episode of The Umbrella Academy series 2. It’s the address of the father’s shady umbrella company. Does anyone know if this is genuinely a Naim reference or just a coincidence? I could probably do some research into the writers but maybe someone here already knows.
