Marantz TT15S1 Turntable

Yes, it includes a premium Clearaudio Virtuoso Ebony Wood moving magnet cartridge, which is pre-mounted and ready for use.

The turntable features a floating motor mount construction that physically separates the motor from the chassis. This design prevents vibrations from the motor from reaching the platter, resulting in a much quieter, cleaner sound.

The TT-15S1 is a manual turntable. You will need to place the tonearm on the record and lift it once playback is finished, which is standard for high-end audiophile components to minimize mechanical interference.

The Clever Clamp by Souther Engineering is designed to secure your record firmly to the acrylic platter. This ensures better contact between the vinyl and the platter, which helps reduce unwanted resonances during playback.

Yes, the tonearm features a fine-adjustable counterweight. This allows you to precisely calibrate the tracking force to ensure optimal performance and protect your records from unnecessary wear.

Because the turntable uses an acrylic platform with solid aluminum three-point support feet, it is best placed on a flat, stable, and level surface. A dedicated audio rack or a heavy, vibration-resistant shelf will provide the best performance.
