Tube Amp in Snowpiercer

It’s huge. Hollywood puts big money into props like this to push their narrative. It is everywhere. Like I forget the movie but some shallow but loaded character they put Meridian speakers prominently in his room. So of course some guy here asks about em. In Jerry Maguire when they want to show how sophisticated a character is they have her play Mingus on LP. On and on.

These people are obsessed with image. Snowpiercer is steampunk sci-fi so of course some midwit set designer has to come up with background bling that fits that vibe. Inevitably some dude sees it and goes wow cool must be good.

No. Must look good. All the difference in the world.

I do not watch tv only documentary works, F1 and MotoGP. Otherwise put on some Mozart and read a book.

@millercarbon - I simply said good looking - I mentioned nothing about what I thought the quality might be. I'm a computer engineer, my career depends on noticing details and asking questions - that's all. I judge other engineers in a professional setting by the level of their curiosity about what they encounter.

My father always built his own tube amps and they fascinate me. You can see how they are made and what makes them tick in a way I personally can't with digital.

And I am very aware of product placement after the project I work on was placed in the Ironman movies

"Bosch" on Amazon Prime .. Ohm, McIntosh, and Marantz I believe.
