Marantz - Link 10 - Reference Network Audio Player Flagship now available

Marantz was founded in New York in 1953 by Saul Marantz, a music lover who built his first preamplifier because he could not find one on the market that was good enough for his record collection. The Audio Consolette he produced became the most admired preamplifier in America within a year of its release, and a company was born. Saul Marantz was not an engineer by training — he was an audiophile first, and everything his company built was evaluated by whether it made records sound the way records were supposed to sound.

That listening-first philosophy has survived seven decades and multiple changes of ownership, and remains the core of how Marantz designs its products today.

ENGINEERING PHILOSOPHY

Modern Marantz products are developed at the company's Eindhoven engineering centre in the Netherlands, where a team of engineers and designers continue to work in the tradition Saul Marantz established: that the measure of an audio component is not its specification sheet, but what it does to music. The HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module) circuit, developed by Marantz's engineering team, is used across the product line as a discrete alternative to conventional integrated circuit op-amps, providing lower noise and better current delivery at audio frequencies. Marantz products are designed to be musical rather than merely accurate — there is a warmth and ease in the treble that Marantz engineers describe as inherent in their design philosophy, and that listeners who spend time with the equipment consistently recognise and appreciate.

WHY THE AUDIO TAILOR CARRIES MARANTZ

We carry Marantz because it offers something rare: genuinely musical sound quality at a price that opens high-end audio to clients who are hearing it properly for the first time. A Marantz system is not a compromise — it is a beginning. And we have had the pleasure of watching many long-term clients start exactly here.
