Marantz TT15S1 - Wrong Frequency Hz...oops.

[SoundsCrazy]

I recently bought a new Marantz TT15s1 from Australia 220V50Hz and brought it here to Saudi which is 220V60Hz.

Now it runs 20% too fast. Bob Marley as the Chipmunks...you get my drift...

The only (practical) solutions I can see are:

1. Frequency Converter costs: USD$798 plus shipping...total around USD$1K
2. Replace motor with US Model to secure 110V60Hz motor and put it through my Transformer that I use for all my USA gear here. Maybe cheaper than 1K tho'...

Unless of course they make a 220V60Hz model for somewhere in the world...like here. I've written to my dealer and ClearAudio direct.

Any other ideas please?

Option 2 is likely a cheapest, if you find a place to order new motor. Generally when buying a TT, it is a good practice to check if it has an integrated motor controller.

Welcome to the AK turn table forum.

Buy a replacement 60 Hz pulley from an US ClearAudio dealer or from ClearAudio directly.
