    Marantz TT-15S1 Reference Turntable

    The resurgence of vinyl comes as no surprise to musicians, audiophile reviewers and critical listeners alike, who've long preferred the sound of analog for its warmth, musicality and acoustical realism. Marantz has known this for a long time, as we introduced our very first audiophile turntable more than 50 years ago.

    The Reference Series TT-15S1 carries on the tradition, and features a unique combination of purist audiophile design and advanced leading edge materials that together combine to deliver the ultimate music listening experience.

    A solid plinth belt-drive design (the preferred turntable drive system), the TT-15S1 features a chassis and platter made from dense glass cast PMMA acrylic composite that has inherent vibration and resonance deadening capabilities, which helps the TT-15S1 deliver an astonishing 80 dB signal to noise ratio.

    Equipped with a reference class anodized aluminum manual tonearm, the TT-15S1 comes with a top-class MM cartridge from Clearaudio and features a precision AC synchronous motor in a massive die-cast housing that thoroughly suppresses motor vibrations, delivering its smooth torque to the thick, heavy platter via a continuous loop (joint-less) silicon belt.

    The anti-skating system features magnetic compensation instead of a weighted system, and features precision adjustment. The adjustable counterweight is continuously variable and has precise weight adjustment indication increments of 0.1g.

    The included phono cartridge is the top-class Clearaudio Virtuoso MM model which features an ebony wood body that resists resonances along with a specially polished diamond stylus, lightweight aluminum cantilever and highly effective cartridge damping.

    The turntable rests on 3 solid aluminum feet that are height adjustable, ensuring stability even on slightly irregular mounting surfaces.

    Along with assembly and adjustment tools, the TT-15S1 comes with everything you need, including the "Clever Clamp", a felt slip mat, a tonearm height shim (for use with the mat), white gloves, bearing oil and a spare silicon belt.

    This TT Exceded My Expectation... By A LOT.

    This TT Exceded My Expectation... By A LOT.
    Received this turntable today. I took my time assembling it (which was VERY easy) so that I wouldn't make any dumb mistakes. It took me about 90 minutes, but could have been done in about 30 easily.MY REASON FOR THIS PURCHASE: I listen to music daily. I am primarily a Classic Rock fan with a huge collection of vinyls, but also enjoy classical, meditation, new age, and more. Many of my vinyls I bought in the 70's and 80's and they have been taken extremely good care of. I have 2 other turntables; a Elac Miracord that I bought in Germany, and a Pro-Ject Carbon II that is basically my workhorse. Both TTs produce good sound, but I wanted something really exceptional. I did a lot of research and kept coming back to this TT. It is within my budget so I decided to purchase one.PACKAGING: Upon arrival one corner of the box it came in was damaged and torn. I took a photo of the box just in case and then opened it. The Marantz box inside was pristine and not damaged at all. The packaging of the parts inside the Marantz box was the best I have seen in an electronics product. After taking inventory everything was accounted for.ASSEMBLY: Once again, it was quite easy to assemble. There were a few lessons learned and I'll pass those on: 1) You won't need the turntable mat. 2) There are 2 grounding cables (one under the table body, and one on the RCA plug cable. These grounding cables and the RCA plugs are too short (aren't they always?} so you will have to extend them all if you plug into a receiver or amp. Make sure you attach BOTH grounding cables to the signal ground on your amp or Receiver or you WILL get hum when you touch parts of the TT. 3) Attaching the cartridge is easy, just remember to position it all the way forward on the head shell (towards the stylus). 4) Attaching the 4 wires to the cartridge can be frustrating, just use tweezers and take your time. 5) A stylus force gauge will be helpfull (I used a Shure SFG-2. Inexpensive and accurate). 6) Motor Pully - I allowed a 4.5mm gap rather than 3mm (the motor just sits so low). 7) Motor - The motor sits very low, making the drive belt very low on the platter. I placed a 2" circular felt pad under the motor (the kind you put under legs of a chair so you don't scratch wood floors. You can get them just about anywhere. Don't peel the paper off of the pad since you don't need the glue side exposed.). this will now allow the drive belt to be nearly centered around the platter. 8) Drive Belt - Not difficult at all, just take your time.CONNECTING TO RECEIVER: If you have a relatively new receiver (I have a Denon INCommand Series) it may have "Phono" inputs. Some newer receivers that have "Phono" inputs are set up for MM (Moving Magmet) cartriges and do not require a pre-amp. the cartridge on this unit is a MM cartridge. If you use a MC (Moving Coil) cartridge you will also need a pre-amp (but this turntable cartridge is MM). BTW: A comment I read here suggested using a power strip to turn the TT on and off. An excellent suggestion and I am using it.TURNTABLE COVER: It does not come with one. I priced some on-line and they run anywhere between $250 - $300. That is a bit much, so I will just make my own. A good opportunity to turn your creativity loose.AFTER ASSEMBLY: The first 2 LPs I played on the TT were brand new copies of David Gilmour's "On An Island" and "Rattle That Lock". The TT operated flawlessly, and I simply could not believe the clean, clear sound that came from my speakers. I could not detect ANY extraneous noise, just pure music. Neither my Elac nor my Pro-Ject can produce this quality of sound. I had the feeling that I had been listening to great music all these years and have now moved on to something totally better. If a new TT is in your budget then I highly recommend this one.UPDATE (2/21/2016): As I mentioned above I felt the cost of a 3rd party dust cover was excessive, so I would make my own. I did just that. The one I built looks just like the ones I saw pictures of online (except that I added some nice looking drawer pulls as lifting handles. Cost from 3rd party suppliers = $300.00 (plus tax & shipping usually) Cost of materials to build one = $37.09 (a 28" x 30" sheet of Duraplex acrylic sheeting, a tube of adhesive, and 2 drawer pulls)

    Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2023
    This is a great looking turntable which I wanted to add to my Marantz Model 30 components. I bought this from Gramophone Amazon store and when I opened it, I was disappointed to see the motor which showed signs of oil leaks. Unfortunately, I had to return the defective unit.
