Yes, I agree. To me the stepfather’s stereo system is a minor character in the overall story. I have thought/ felt that it is his refuge, his mistress, even. There is an undercurrent in this story that everything old is new again. I suppose that the stereo system’s character is an aspect of that. I had missed the “new toy” line. Thanks for your thoughts/ analysis.
“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...
