Marantz TT-15S1 anyone with experience fitting an electronic speed box?


Hi everyone,

I am curious about getting some kind of speed controler for my Marantz TT-15S1.
Not ready to get the one made by Clearaudio, (the Marantz is of course made by Clearaudio ) and looking for a less expensive solution. Not sure I need a speed box, but as I said, just curious about what it could bring.

If someone actually owns the Marantz TT-15  and is using a speed controller, please share your experience!

Thanks !

Look for a used Phoenix RoadRunner unit. Best to check before however, if you can fit the speed sensor underneath the platter and your AC motor will work with it. 

The company is now defunct, but I see listings now and then.

 The Clearaudio controller isn't on the same level as a Phoenix.
It appears it simply delivers steady power to the motor. There isn't a speed monitoring circuit telling the unit to control the speed of the platter. How is that supposed to be accurate?
