“Sharp Objects” Tonearm/ Cartridge

Just wondering if anyone recognizes the turntable setup featured in the opening credits of “Sharp Objects” on HBO. The cartridge is mounted to the head shell with a single bracket with two threaded screw holes. Who manufactures this bit of hardware? Are there any major advantages or disadvantages in using this hardwares? Thanks in advance for your thoughts...

Indeed...I think his daughter has given it more of a blast than he has. ;) :)

I’m rapidly losing the will to live with this one. It’s one of those shows that you wish you hadn’t started watching but only the hi-fi element is holding interest.... :D

Obviously that Alan is not a true audiophile because he is not using a top LOMC cartridge but an Ortofon entry level.

Anyway, SimmAudio is great. as the speakers too.

It wasn't in the budget, and the producer said "No one will know the difference anyway." Little did he know the millions of us on Audiogon would spot it immediately

They should have used tubes if the underlying theme is everything old is new again!  Besides it's not state of the art sound unless it has tubes 😁
