About the 6300
The Marantz 6300 is a vintage direct-drive turntable with a DC servo-controlled motor, 33⅓ and 45 rpm operation, and a ±3% speed-adjustment range. It uses a 31 cm, 1.6 kg aluminum die-cast platter and an S-shaped, statically balanced tonearm with a 231 mm effective length, 15 mm overhang, and 0.5–4.0 g stylus-pressure range. Features include hydraulically damped cueing, anti-skating, lateral balance, automatic shutoff, and photoelectric end-of-record tonearm lift. Published specifications list approximately 0.04% wow and flutter, −60 dB rumble, dimensions of 435 × 180 × 381 mm, and a weight of about 10 kg. The model is no longer manufactured and is now encountered as vintage equipment; age-related servicing may be necessary.
