The TT-15S1 Sounds Even Better Than it Looks!

Marantz really hit the nail on the head with their brand new turntable package, the Marantz TT-15! Designed by Marantz and built for them by Clearaudio (we’re pretty sure you noticed the design similarities). The TT-15 is a contoured acrylic table with an outboard motor, an very thick acrylic platter on an inverted bearing, special anti-resonance feet and a sophisticated tonearm with an anodized Aluminum armwand. To make this analog package an even better value, the TT-15 comes complete with the fantastic Clearaudio Virtuoso Ebony Wood Cartridge; one of the best sounding MM cartridges we sell! We fell in love at first sight...and at first listen, we were even more impressed. You just cannot get a better turntable for your money!

“The TT-15S1 is basically an upgraded Clearaudio Emotion…Clearaudio has upped its level of fit’n’finish. The TT-15S1 has an attractive, jewel-like appearance that’s pleasing to the touch. It also proved to be a more than competent performer, quiet and surprisingly well damped. The real star of the show is the supplied Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood Ebony cartridge (output 3.3mV), which gives the TT-15 a startlingly full, coherent, dynamic sound. The cartridges overall tonal picture was remarkably coherent from top to bottom.”

“The Marantz combo is a lot closer to more expensive ensembles than one might expect – everything is well executed and, and remarkably so at the price. The [TT-15] is outstanding, nearly unique even, in its ease and accuracy of set-up. This system is clean-tracking, low in distortion, detailed, low in noise and high in resolution, pitch stable and musically agreeable. I do not see how one could ask for a lot more at this price!”
