MARANTZ MARANTZ36 37
The oversized Toroidal transformer inside the SA-15S2 generates the cleanest of power deliveries to eliminate component
cross-contamination, while the highly-acclaimed Marantz Xyron mechanism, with solid aluminium housing, supports MP3 and
WMA playback – without, of course, affecting its CD and SACD sound quality. The advanced Cirrus Logic bitstream CS4398
DAC heightens analogue performance and provides a choice of different digital filters. In addition, the analogue output stage
makes use of the HDAM-SA2 module and selected components, and the headphone stage is equipped with a high-speed
current buffer amp making it insensitive to the headphone when connected: hence noise is minimised and audio quality
maximised. Another major benefit is the digital input, enabling you to connect a music server or a network audio client to take
advantage of the high-quality DAC and the superior audio output stage.
The PM-15S2 uses the latest generation of Marantz-own HDAM modules, as well as a top-down version of the PM-11S2’s
Constant Current Feedback MM/MC phono stage, which vinyl fans will simply fall in love with. The powerful Toroidal
transformer delivers exceptionally high current values to instantaneously follow every dynamic and every detail of the music,
while an additional CD direct input buffer ensures a completely unadulterated audio signal. In addition, the symmetrical circuit
architecture, with system block shielding and independent left and right heat sinks, eliminates cross-channel interference for
the clearest, most ‘visible’ of sound stages. One of the unit’s many convenience innovations is the special Power Amp Direct
Mode, enabling you to use the PM-15S2 as a pure power amplifier - useful when combining a high-quality AV System with an
audiophile stereo set-up. Also, with rigid double layer chassis, aluminium front and side panels, and an additional bottom plate
to minimise external noise, the PM-15S2 is as solid as it gets. It all adds up to an extraordinarily high-quality stereo sound.
