russ69 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Have you guys seen the new Lexus TV commercial with a close up of a guy and half of a tube amp showing prominently? Way cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennie Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Have you guys seen the new Lexus TV commercial with a close up of a guy and half of a tube amp showing prominently? Way cool. No, not yet. But earlier today I saw a commercial with a turntable spinning with a close up for the needle tracking on a record and thought that was pretty cool also. But, I be darned if I can remember what the commerical was for? Maybe Comcast Cable company, but I am not positive. Thanks for the heads up, I will be looking for it, in my limited TV viewing.

4tay Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Season 1 of HBO's "Tales from the crypt" episode where the executioner becomes unemployed... a scene in his apartment shows what appears to be a pushpull EL-34 tube amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ69 Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 That's the one. I was so jacked up seeing the amp, I didn't remember what brand of car it was! Thanx for the link. P.S. There's gas in the tubes? He better take that back to the dealer......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylanl Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 What a slam to the audio community. That is the same opinion I get from almost all the people that see my system without hearing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I agree... I find that commercial offensive...see if I ever buy a Lexus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4tay Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 The commercial may imply that people too stupid to understand a vacuum tube amp are gullible enough to spend too much on a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I think it's more of a slam to the honda/acura driver. They don't know much of how anything works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winchester21 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I just wish I had seen the dam thing. I am amazed by the number of MAC audio stuff I see in the movies. They must be getting a kickback. Like all of these funky watches- you never see a rolex any more except for maybe a prez on the wrist of some gangster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
