Marantz TT-15S1
Vintage & classic turntables · 2005–2024 Discontinued
$750–$1,100 typical US used price · originally £1,400 (UK, mid-2010s; launched 2005 at ~$1,500)
Built for Marantz by Clearaudio in Germany, the TT-15S1 pairs an acrylic plinth and platter with a floating motor, the Satisfy tonearm and a bundled Virtuoso cartridge worth much of the asking price. After a near 20-year run it has recently disappeared from production, with remaining stock selling through.
A rebadged-Clearaudio bargain whose bundled cartridge made it the value high-end deck of its generation.
Good to know
- No built-in phono stage — use an amplifier with a phono input or add a separate phono preamplifier.
- This is a used-market purchase. Ask about condition, originality and service history, especially the belt, bearing and stylus.
