For the attention of analogue purists: the TT-15S1 turntable from the Premium Range has arrived. It has an acrylic resin chassis and styling in keeping with the Premium Range. The heavy 3cm thick acrylic top plate is covered with felt and the set is balanced on solid aluminum feet. Ceramic bearings are used to eliminate chassis resonance. Marantz's exclusive MM cell attaches directly to high-quality patch cables to minimize signal resistance. The anodized arm has been optimized to perfectly match this head. The engine is damped and isolated from the chassis to prevent the influence of vibrations. And a special clamp ("intelligent clamp") ensures excellent contact between the record and the platter. The magnetic "anti-skating" system has no friction to eliminate tension on the needle, and the continuous silicone belt guarantees rotational precision. The TT-15S1 represents the ultimate addition to any audiophile audio system.
