Sweepstakes

Marantz TT-15 Turntable with Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood MM Cartridge plus MoFi Accessories from Music Direct Sweepstakes

Jon Iverson  |  Dec 7, 2012

Register to win a Marantz TT-15 Turntable with the amazing Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood moving magnet cartridge from Music Direct (MSRP $2020.00) we are giving away.

According to Music Direct:

This turntable package will also come with a handful of new Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab LPs, a Mobile Fidelity Record Brush and Mobile Fidelity Record Care Fluids. Music Direct will even throw in a custom made dustcover. This special package has an estimated value of over $2,000. Howís that for a holiday give-away?

Marantz really killed the competition with their complete turntable package, the Marantz TT-15. Designed by Marantz and built for them by Clearaudio, the TT-15 is a contoured acrylic table with an outboard motor, a very thick, inert acrylic platter on an inverted bearing, with special anti-resonance isolation feet and a sophisticated tonearm with an anodized Aluminum armwand. To make this analog package an even better value, the TT-15 comes complete with the fantastic Clearaudio Virtuoso Ebony Wood Cartridge; one of the best sounding MM cartridges we sell! We fell in love at first sight...and at first listen, we were even more impressed.

AnalogPlanet.com's esteemed Editor-In-Chief Michael Fremer enjoyed his time with this table. In his Stereophile review he wrote about his time with the table. Good luck to all the Analog Planet readers.

My Sansui FR-D4 has gotten long-in-the-tooth... and when new (that was a long time ago), was only considered mid-fi at best. My LP's deserve a better chassis and platter to sit their downsides on... besides, acrylic is s-e-x-y!

Anybody remember when turntables were all about convenience, with a spindle that you could stack up to 6 albums? Then have music playing for 4 hours! What a mess! It's great to see sound reproduction quality over convenience! This one is a beauty and I hope I can give it a good home. Best wishes to all for a great holiday season.

I have about a 35 year old Technics SL-1300 that has given me good service.  The cartridge is probably about 15-17 years old.  I play records on it regularly, but infrequently.  When I bought it, I received a little machine oil that I was to put a drop in every year or so.  The oil has long since disappeared.  This analog craze is a bit like having an old wind-up mantle clock.  The clockmaker says I should bring the clock to him every 3 years for oiling even if I don't use the clock, but it's a very expensive proposition as it costs $200-$300 every time.  "You have to love this clock as a piece of furniture," says the clockmaker.  By the way the clock cost $4 back around 1905.  Analog today is more expensive than digital. Is it really worth it?  Like some of the other posters - my son went crazy and now has more vinyl than I, though I have more CDs.

This is a wonderful table!  One of the best I've heard for under $4K.  I've had mine for a year now and my son wants one for himself.
