xxmartinxx Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Did anyone see Episode 11 of Seaon Two of Maron? The episode revolves around Marc going into a record store and deciding he needs a tube amp. He ends up buying a MC240. Nerds will note a few things. (POTENTIAL SPOILERS) One, he has no preamp which would be necessary for the MC240 as it's a power amp. A big deal is made of him paying $4k for the amp, but the turntable show in a McIntosh MT10, which retails for $8k. The local record shop dude comes to his house to look at this set up and says his cartridge sucks and needs a Grado. I would assume someone who spends $8k on a table as something better than a Grado on it. His bookshelf speakers are actually on a shelf close to the wall. They are also at unequal heights. It's on Netflix if you want to check it out. The episode is NSFW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmartinxx Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 It might be interesting to note that Marc Maron has a Pro-ject table and a Rogue Cronus Magnum in real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajxd Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed no pre. And the grado comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
