Offered is „6300 + 2x Audio-Technica AT33E + AT-650 – komplette Vintage-MC-Kombination“ by Marantz as second-hand device from the category „Record Player complete“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 8033079085 ends on 23.10.2026 at 14:00 o'clock.
This is a vintage-era deck and matching MC front end, so timing mainly matters in the usual way: condition, service history, and cartridge health are what decide value now. At €1,950, it sits well above the €590 median and even above the €1,978 75th percentile only by a hair, so it reads as ambitious rather than a bargain.
What makes it interesting is the completeness: a properly paired turntable plus two AT33E cartridges and the AT-650 step-up can save a buyer a lot of piecing-together and matching effort. For someone specifically chasing a ready-to-play vintage MC setup, that bundle has real appeal, but I’d want proof of platter/bearing health, tonearm behavior, and cartridge hours before paying top-end money.

Marantz originated in the United States, founded in 1953 by Saul Bernard Marantz, a music enthusiast and amateur musician born in Brooklyn in 1911. Dissatisfied with the audio equipment of the era, he crafted the groundbreaking Audio Consolette preamplifier in 1952 from his New York home, selling the first 100 units rapidly and prompting the formal establishment of the company in Woodside, Queens. Though production later shifted to Japan in partnership with manufacturers like Standard Radio in 1966, and the brand evolved through ownership changes including Superscope and eventual integration into larger groups, its heritage remains rooted in American ingenuity and a relentless pursuit of musical fidelity.
The brand excels in high-end audio components, particularly amplifiers, preamplifiers, and integrated systems that defined its golden era. Iconic models like the Model 7 preamplifier (1958), Model 9 power amplifier (1960), and Model 10B tuner (1964) set benchmarks for performance, while later offerings expanded to tuners, receivers, and CD players. Marantz briefly ventured into speakers under designer Ed May in the 1970s but focused primarily on electronics rather than turntables, headphones, DACs, or cables, emphasizing separates renowned for their "Most Musical Sound."
Marantz commands a premium position in the hi-fi market, revered as a high-end pioneer that shaped the audiophile landscape through the 1970s zenith. Today, it blends vintage allure with modern elegance, appealing to discerning buyers who value durability, innovation, and warm, detailed sound signatures over mass-market accessibility.
