Without a doubt, vinyl is back. But long gone are the clunky stereo-systems and consoles. Meet a turntable that is not only functional but also a work of art.
The Marantz TT-15S1 is something to behold. Its range is dynamic and it’s full of gorgeous details. Having a look at it – with its floating construction – will make you want to take your favorite LP out of its sleeve and crank it up.
The turntable’s plinth is made out of a single piece of frosted acrylic with three beefy feet to dampen vibration from speakers and footsteps. It has two cutouts for the tonearm and the motor.
The system wows by digging into the grooves and extracting detail you never noticed before. It all lends to an incredibly gratifying experience. It has an incredibly dark background when playing records: There’s no hum from the motor, and no audible vibration from the platter or plinth. All you hear is what’s on the record and nothing else.
