Apart from this audiophile scene, this is a great movie. This particular one is the second of a trilogy. The first of this trilogy is what the movie “Departed” is based on.

Interesting but don't like the aesthetic in that room....

I DO like the side view pic, maybe a variation on "His Master's Voice" perhaps?

My back hurts just thinking about playing a record on that turntable.

That's a fetish I did not apply to you. But now I understand the constant breath mints you consumed.

I just had a flashback to when I worked at Sears during college.  I actually convinced a cute-but-not-super-bright young lady that worked there that naugahyde was actually the hide of the Nauga, a close relative of the Platypus.  She seemed to gain new appreciation for the material after that 😄.  She was adorable.....
