The Marantz 6150 is the kind of turntable that quietly flexes in the corner of a room—no flash, no drama, just smooth moves and timeless style. Built in the late ’70s when Marantz was cranking out some of the slickest hi-fi gear around, the 6150 is part audio tool, part living-room trophy.

- Liner Notes
The Marantz Model 6150 Turntable incorporates the advanced, innovative design and unparalleled technology that has made Marantz famous in the audio components industry.
It features a servo-controlled direct drive platter and a precision tone arm mounted on steel bearings.
Other features include hydraulically damped cueing, strobe-referenced electronic speed tuning, low capacitance cables suitable for use with CD-4, and shock absorbing mounting feet to prevent acoustic feedback.
The rubber mat on the platter is impregnated with anti-static compounds to prevent static electricity build-up that can cause dirt particles to be attracted to the record surfaces.
- Packing
- Prepare to be impressed. We have arguably the best packing process around. We use our InstaPak machine and white open cell foam to build a custom enclosure for your piece that ensures that it's stable and secure. If it is particularly fragile or heavy, we typically opt for private courier delivery. Depending on where you are in the country, that may cost a bit extra. We also take great care to protect the tonearm and stylus, and we will tighten any transport screws. You can be confident that your table will arrive snug as a bug in a rug.
- Shipping
- This piece ships to the contiguous United States for a flat rate of $150, which includes our packaging and our insurance. Of course, we'll ship anywhere in the world, just drop us a line and we'll give you an estimate – even if you're just curious.
