Very nice Marantz 6300 for sale. I have owned it for more than 20 yrs. In good shape, there is a crack in the dust cover and a little nick in the front right corner. It was that way when I got it , I just haven't gotten around to fixing it for some reason. ALL parts are there, feet, hinges, etc.. Shure 2215 cartridge, could use a new needle. Very clean, always treated with respect. The tone arm needs to be re oiled, it bounces a little during shut off. Everything is fully functional, this has been my home turntable for years. Beautiful, timeless, design.
Classic 1970s Marantz styling makes this one instantly recognizable, but the asking price is far above the used market norm. At US$1,500, it sits well over the US$773 75th percentile and almost 4x the US$380 median, so this is an ambitious ask unless it’s a truly exceptional, fully sorted example with standout provenance.
What keeps it interesting is that the 6300 is a desirable belt-drive Marantz table with strong collector appeal, good looks, and enough performance to satisfy a vintage system when properly set up. At this level, the buyer should expect more than just a clean plinth: confirm speed stability, arm bearings, cueing, platter condition, and whether the dust cover, original headshell, and any servicing history are included.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
