Fluance RT82 Reference High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player with Ortofon OM10 Cartridge, Speed Control Motor, High Mass MDF Wood Plinth, Vibration Isolation Feet - Walnut

As my first record player after a day of having a Crosley portable record player this one seems like a dream. As someone new to collecting records the overall setup was more costly than Id hoped but I managed to save here and there with the speakers and receiver which made for very good sound at less than 600. Aside from having to make a decision between powered or passive speakers and a receiver or external pre amp it was a pretty easy set up too.

I put the ortofon blue on and WOW it sounds great.

I can not say enough how happy I am with the purchase of this turntable. Out of the box and in about 15 minutes we were listening to our albums. They sound fantastic. I purchased the RT82. If you purchase this model make sure you have Phono port on our stereo. I did not realize they stopped putting these on Stereos. I had to have add a Preamp. I purchased the ART DJPREII Phono Preamplifier and the sound is great. Originally I had a different preamp and the bass was not very good. However when I switched to the DJPREII the Bass was perfect. I also got the Piano Black and my daughter got the Walnut. both look great but really like the black!

You need a preamp but you probably know that. Im excited that I can upgrade this in the future when I outgrow my current setup. Putting this together was easy. Just make sure to balance the tone arm on the surface you intend to place it. Overall the quality is great and sound quality is a million times better than my Target turntable.

This Fluance RT82 turntable has a very nice clear sound. I’m not an audio file but it sounds as good as more expensive turntables. It looks very good, nice quality and easy set up.

Great turntable. Sounds great and looks awesome.

Love it! Not a beginner turntable though. Not much so that its advanced, but wouldnt recommend it for beginners. Other than that great turntable!

Excellent turntable for the money. Well built and excellent sound. Only thing I might do, in the future, is upgrade to the red cartridge but the stock one is very good.

Absolutely elegant product. The instructions are so easy to follow and setting up everything only took a few minutes - and this was my first time setting up counterbalance and anti-skate. Looks incredible in my room. The dust cover is a little more “Smokey” than I thought, but I really like it. I don’t know how they can sell such a great product at such a great price.

I did a lot or research on turntables, this is everything I was looking for. Quality materials and very well built.
