Default Wozniak and VPI
Cadillac has a new video featuring Steve Wozniak and you get a clear shot of his VPI and you can guess he has an extensive vinyl collection in the background.

Thought you'd like it.

Georges...saw that yesterday. Interesting that Steve Jobs and seemingly Wozniak are audiophiles (was in case of Jobs I guess).

Also, there's the Clearaudio Concept turntable in an H&R Block ad that has been doing the rounds on TV recently:

The clearaudio was doing the rounds as a joke though because they chose a foreign made table. Woz has quite the record collection in the background. I wonder if he is listening to the turntable with those sennheiser 800's

Pretty cool, it's amazing how vinyl makes an appearance in many TV and movie spots these days, even when you take into account the vinyl fad. Good to see though.

Just out of curiosity, can anyone verify the setting as Wozniak's home vs some props in a staged setting?

Cool ad...

In the new "Odd Couple" sitcom, Oscar has a pair of Martin Logan speakers in his apartment. Since Chandler and Joey on "Friends" also had ML speakers, maybe the writer is the same or maybe Matthew Perry is a ML fan?
