Fluance RT81 Elite High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player with Audio Technica AT95E Cartridge, Belt Drive, Built-in Preamp, Adjustable Counterweight, High Mass MDF Wood Plinth - Walnut

Just setup this tt. Took about 30minutes. Super easy just follow the directions. Sounds awesome. Checked the speed using an app on my phone 33.4 out of the box. Still running the 24hr burn in which was recommended in the instructions. Good bargain for 250 bucks. My 30 year old Technics is now in retirement.

Excellent A1

Wow this is my first turntable and I most say WOW. I did a lot of research and based on my budget this was the most bang for my buck! It is super easy to setup and it sound amazing. I would recommend this turntable to anyone! The only thing that I will say is that the dust cover hinges were broke appon me getting it but that’s not a big deal for me, I’m sure I can work something out with the company to get them replaced.

Beautiful looking record player, but it didnt work properly and had bad experience with customer service at Fluance. Will be returning the item and wont buy again.

This is my second Fluance table that I have purchased, the first one being the RT 80. I will say both tables are simply amazing. The build quality and the glossy white or black finish alone would sell some people on it. The attention to simplicity and detail is so perfect. The RT 81 comes with an upgraded cartridge from the 80, which is a bit of a difference. It is semi-automatic, meaning it doesnt return the tonearm at the end of the record, it nearly stops spinning after about 30 seconds. When you first get it out of the box, it requires some assembly of the tonearm, counter weight, platter and the dust cover. Instructions are pretty straight forward, but if you have questions, customer service is fantastic! Ive been buying different turntables for years, Fluance is the absolute best at their price point. You will get years of enjoyment out your Fluance. Highly recommend!!

Easy to assemble, just follow the directions. If you don’t have the patience for that, you probably shouldn’t be buying a record player.

This is a great turntable. Required a little tweaking to set up the counterbalance but plays great and looks beautiful. Exactly what I was looking for. Ive got it running through a Yamaha receiver and some killer Bowers and Wilkins speakers, so that also makes a difference. But Im super happy with my purchase and would recommend this turntable to anyone looking for a well built, great sounding, good looking turntable that didnt break the bank.

My husband loved dor his cigar lounge . Very happy with the purchase.

Purchased this a few weeks ago....I read the reviews and though I knew it was only going to reach a certain level of quality, I was still expecting a little bit more during playback. Its almost as if there was a thin veil covering the music. The main problem in my opinion is the cartridge/stylus that comes with the unit. Its just not sensitive enough to capture all the details within the grooves. I suppose its fine if youre just starting out; but my recommendation is to fork out a few hundred more and invest in a proper, higher-end turntable.

Great it pleased my x perfectly
