Brand History<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Marantz was founded in 1953 by Saul Bernard Marantz in New York. He initially developed the Audio Consolette, a pre-amplifier designed to address the variable recording characteristics of vinyl records. This innovative approach brought rapid success, after which Marantz opened a factory in Woodside, Queens. <\/p>\n

In the following years, the brand released several iconic models, such as the Model 1 Mono Preamplifier in 1954 and the Model 7 preamp in 1958. Later in the 1980s, the company made the move into the digital world with products; in addition to the TT1000 turntable, they came out with the CD-63, one of the first popular CD players.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
