When you use "Chains", the Ogg compression settings will be whatever was used last. If it is a fresh Audacity installation and Ogg Export has never been used the default is "5". Which Export dialogue do you mean? Could you provide a screenshot, please? File menu > Export > select...

Marantz is a good name, and if it is still in good working condition it will probably knock the spots off USB TTs. If it is belt driven, check the condition of the belt - they tend to deteriorate over time and may need replacing. Also check that everything that should be able to move is able to move...
