The best turntable I’ve ever owned. Marantz (Clearaudio) TT-15S1 with Clearaudio Virtuoso cartridge.

Gorgeous.
I have that amp and it is beautiful, but the ring around the meter is copper, not silver.

You are very fortunate.
Does it perform anywhere near as well as it looks?
I struggle to put how something sounds into words, so here goes. My speakers at the time were restored Apogee Duetta Signatures, which are a difficult load. I was auditioning amplifiers to replace my aging Krell FPB-300. The Benchmark ABH couldn’t do it, not enough grunt. Then, I tried BHK250, Parasound JC5 both were excellent but couldn’t match the control of the Krell has on the bass. My dealer, Big Kids Toys, suggested since I enjoyed the Krell give the D’Agostino Progression a try. He loaned me his demo amp and pre. Over a weeks time my wife and I listened to all five back to back. I didn’t want to like the D’Agostino that much due to the price, but as some people on this site say “You just can’t unhear it.” After the first listen to the D’Agostino, my wife used a bad word and said, “I hate Mike (dealer), where do I send the check.” This experience has opened up our ears to a whole new world. Since then, we have upgraded to Magico A5, dCS Bartok Apex. Later this month we’re going to hear the Magico S3. We still have the Apogees though as they are incredible speakers.

I bet the wine rack really screws up the sound.

I believe it is armored glass like the one that protects the Holy Shroud in Turin. 
I think I see an NCIS MTAC-style button pad.

I’m a sucker for symmetry (and, apparently, alliteration).
Beautiful kit.

I think this Marantz lifestyle image misses.
$14,000 for the AV processor and AV amp with either in-wall L-C-R or ceiling mount. It just seems odd.
