TV Series "Suits" features lots of vinyl LP's and turntables
.
The New York City Law Office of Harvey Specter, the main character in the television series "Suits", features a considerable number of Vinyl LP's conspicuously placed in racks along the walls. In several episodes, Specter is seen playing a record or two. . . . . To this point, I've not been able to fully identify the turntable Specter uses, but I have noticed that his cartridge looks like an Ortofon 2M Red - The picture that follows shows Specter's young associate, Mike Ross, messing with one of the turntables which I think looks like either a VPI Scoutmaster with upgraded feet, or an Aires. . It does appears that more than one turntable has shown up during the course of the show's run. (Which I enjoy watching on NetFlix or Amazon via my ROKU device.). And, another segment showed this table - which may be in Harvey's condo. . Oracle has announced that their turntables will be featured in the upcoming season 3 of the series - slated to premier on July 14th. Quote:

Hmmm......he needs to work on his 'LP stacking' technique. Like the looks of the TTs.

Good Choice in tables - but why use it with a $100 Ortofon Red?

If it (Ortofon Red) gets damaged on the set (easy to do) no big loss. Besides - who would notice but an Audio-geek?
