Marantz TT-15S1

Commentary

This is a belt-drive record player with New Premium Design common to PM-11S1 and SA-11S1.

A belt drive system is adopted as the drive system.
The belt drive system has the advantage of being less susceptible to motor vibration and less affected by magnetic flux from the motor. In addition, the TT-15S1 uses an endless type of silicon belt with less deterioration.

It uses a high-density, high-internal loss 20 mm thick acrylic chassis and 28 mm thick turntable. It also uses ceramic bearings with excellent durability.

The tone arm part uses a straight type aluminum tone arm with high rigidity and perfect lateral.
The arm pipe is treated with low-resonance alumite, and the wire passing through the inside uses OFC special arm cable. The direct amplifier connection ensures more faithful transmission.

The anti-skating mechanism uses a magnetic system that does not make contact with the arm.

Non-servo high-torque type AC synchronous motor is used for the drive motor.
This motor unit is isolated from the chassis to prevent vibration transmission.

A MM type cartridge with ebony base is used.

Solid 3 point support legs made of solid aluminum are used for the legs.

It comes with a Klebber ramp, a disk clamper from Souther Engineering.

It comes with a felt sheet with high damping effect.
