"The Marseille Contract" (1974):
There is a scene in this film that is every audiophile's wet dream, at minute 25:
The omnipotent professional killer (Michael Caine) is introduced by putting a needle on a pickup with the help of a watchmaker's loupe.
So anyone who can master the art of replacing a needle can also discreetly eliminate fellow human beings.
Actually, one should ask oneself which idiot designed this pickup.
He puts the pickup on a record and Beethoven's Fifth blares - he is a killer dude!
One floor up, a blonde beauty is already waiting for him in bed.
She turns up the amplifier next to the bed even louder so that the music drowns out
whatever other noises the two of them are about to produce.
It should be clear by this point that the killer is an idiot if he sends a low-level signal about 6m to an amp
and needs to run up and down a narrow spiral staircase just to turn over a record.
Accordingly, he dies at the end.
