Moving sale — priced to go. Bought new, barely used; I'm a collector and this one mostly sat on the shelf. Condition is excellent, works perfectly. Honestly you won't find a cleaner one for this money.
Marantz Model 6300 direct-drive turntable from my personal audiophile collection. Condition: Excellent. Includes the turntable and dust cover pictured. The white device resting on top in the photograph is not included. Please review the actual photo for appearance and contact me with questions about accessories. Local pickup in San Marino, California, or shipping within the Continental U.S. for $60.
The Marantz 6-G has a small but deserved following as an unusually musical vintage two-way, but US$1,500 is an ambitious ask here. It sits well above the 64-listing median of US$997 and below the 75th percentile of US$2,055, so it is not absurd for an exceptional, complete pair, but it is not a bargain—especially with condition listed as unknown.
The appeal is an easygoing, full-bodied presentation with strong bass, non-fatiguing treble, and enough efficiency to work happily with modest tube or solid-state amplifiers. The 10-inch woofers and relatively uncommon model give it genuine character, but at this price the buyer should insist on a proper audition and inspect surrounds, tweeters, grilles, cabinets, and crossover originality. A clean, fully tested, all-original pair could justify the ask; otherwise, negotiation is warranted.
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.
