Marantz TT-15S1 Premium Turntable

Description

TT-15S1

Part of the Marantz Premium Range of turntables, the TT-15S1 has a solid acrylic resin chassis in keeping with the overall design style of the range, a 3cm-thick heavy acrylic platter with a black felt cover, solid aluminium feet, and state-of-the-art ceramic bearings, almost eliminating chassis resonance.

Masterfully crafted, and carefully curated with hand-selected materials, the TT-15S1 is as impeccable as they come, delivering the most authentic format with unprecedented clarity.

The Marantz exclusive MM-system in a stylish ebony body is directly fixed to the high-grade audio interconnector reducing signal resistance to a minimum.

Its anodised tonearm has been optimised to partner the unit perfectly. The motor is dampened and isolated from the chassis to prevent vibration influence. And a "clever clamp" system ensures excellent disc contact with platter.

The magnetic anti-skating system is contact-free to eliminate unwanted stylus stresses, and the continuous silicon belt guarantees rotational accuracy.

In review, TechRadar says: "Taken as a whole, the Marantz TT-15S1 offers budding audiophiles the chance to chase higher fidelity without having to buy a turntable that costs as much as a car. For audiophiles who are ready to graduate from entry-level hi-fi turntables, the Marantz TT-15S1 should be on your short list."
