Marantz SA-15S2 SACD Player free registered post and delivery Great SACD player, this thing weighs a ton, 13 kgs ? Sounds wonderful, solid build heavy chassis, has 2 Different filters too change the sound off the dac, able to run an external dac through it or be run as a dac believe it or not, comes with a heavy duty metal remote control, it’s class all the way, as new condition with original box, remote & owners manual, plays regular cds, a real investment, priced to sell, it’s a real gem… light gold colour can switch off the front panel illumination lights or leave on… Condition: As New
The SA-15S2 has a strong reputation as one of Marantz’s more serious two-channel disc players, and A$1,500 for a like_new unit looks fair to slightly strong, not a steal. Recent used asking prices cluster around A$1,220–A$1,227 on eBay AU, while cleaner or better-documented examples have shown up closer to A$1,400–A$2,070 depending on box, remote, and source country, so this sits in the middle of the realistic market rather than the bargain end.
What makes it worth considering is the build-and-analog side of the Marantz house sound: this is a well-regarded CD/SACD player aimed at listeners who want smooth, refined playback rather than clinical presentation. In like_new condition, the upside is mainly provenance and completeness, so confirm the remote, original packaging, and flawless disc loading/tracking; at this price, a clean, fully accessorized unit is the sort of listing a fellow enthusiast could buy with confidence.
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.
