It sounds like Jeff Lynne doing a variation of his song "Mr. Blue Sky." It's all there, the bouncy music, the smooth backing vocals ... very Jeff Lynne/ELO.
wow.. the first 5 seconds of a TV ad and there showing a reference turntable and AKG k 701's ... FREAKIN SWEET! i think the only tv ad that comes close to this one was the Ford GT 40 Superbowl add a while back...
I love this commercial! I could hardly believe my eyes the first time I saw it air. It's so cool to see high-end audio all over TV, something I didn't think would ever happen.
Cool commercial -- but I want to hear more about the business owner! Loved the background music. The voiceover talent has an odd voice -- seems a little too high and non-resonant, like she's straining. Anyway! Loved what they did with the "inventory."
Gotta love those AKGs! One of the best headphones ever made, better than the ALL the entire Bose crap those audio n00bs buy! I dare anyone to challenge my claim on that haha!
What an awesome collection of analog gears -just wondering who's gaining more exposure american express or music direct,both are establish in their own right-both pride in themselves as the best in the industry.Go Mofi!
Well, first of all, the K701s are the headphones, not the turntable. The deck itself is an Avid Acutus - also made in the UK like the Rega turntables. A Rega's very good, but it doesn't have any suspension system; bit of a flaw in what is essentially a backwards seismograph. This one kills off most vibration that's not from the groove.
Awesome! I haven't seen turntables on television for too long. American Express is obviously trying to attract cooler card members! Music Direct is a great company.

Do you actually think like this? "The voiceover bla bla bla, its a commercial stop examining it like anyone cares what you have to say.

The "voiceover talent" is Lauren Graham of Gilmore Girls! Please leave her alone.
