Has anyone seen the Sota Turntable on House? - Videokarma.org TV - Video

I have recently started watching the show "House" on Fox, and when I was watching the credits at the end of the show, it mentioned sponsorship by "Sota Turntables"

. So, has anyone seen a turntable in the show, or did they just provide monetary support? My guess is that it would have to be in someones office.

I'm watching the first season on DVD and House was listening to some Jazz on vinyl in the last episode.
I don't know what the TT was but he's a Doctor so I'm sure it wasn't a BSR.

I've seen it. He's got a tube amp, too.

It's in his house, not office IIRC.

Here you go, finally tracked down confirmation:

Not a trendy surround-sound or an MP3 player, but a swank system comprising an American-made Sota Cosmos belt-drive turntable, Bella Luna speakers built by Dueval in Germany, and US-made Thor Audio valve amplifiers.

With that rig, it would be a shame if he didn't.

Evidently the good Dr. is into his vintage guitar as well...loved the episode where Dr. Wilson stole it and held it "hostage".

Actually he has a system at home as well as his office. I have never been able to ID the table in the office but I know of at least 3 times he has spin vinyl during times he was in his office. One of his Christmas gifts from the cute little gal (she's Bi as of the show I watched last night how interesting) on his team now was a "Classic album"

And the Guitar ended up torn to pieces as a result of the Hostage things he has on a couple follow on shows been seen trying to glue splitters back together.

Now theres a good example of product placement that actually works. After watching the first season of House with my wife, I added the SOTA turntable to my long list of TT's to acquire if I should ever find one cheap enough.

With that audio setup and his Honda (CBR, Repsol colors) motorcycle, Dr. House is my role model.

House has some nice toys in his house and his office. At one point he had a TT in his office too. Not sure what kind.

I agree with you there, it also makes me want to watch the show just to catch a glimpse of it.
