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

We recently picked up this Fluance RT82 turntable and could not be happier with it. The sound quality is excellent. I found the setup instructions to be very clear and balancing the tonearm to be reasonably easy. The instructions really leave nothing to chance - down to showing where to put the included bubble level on the turntable when leveling it. The sound is great, it feels very solid and well made - it ticks all the boxes at this price point. Highly recommend.

The beauty of this turntable is just crazy its just a beautiful piece the sound quality is awesome I love everything about this fluance its worth every penny I would recommend it to anybody.

I love this turntable! Is a huge step up from what I was using. Looks and operates like it’s a much more expensive product. Very easy to set-up, takes about 10 minutes. You will need an amp with a “phono” Jack or a pre-amp. This does not have one built in.

Good product, I purchased 2 units and very happy with both.

This is a nice turntable that delivers great sound and was easy to put together.

When this arrived, I quickly opened the box, because I was excited to try it out. I was very dissapointed in the packaging that was done to keep the turntable safe durring shipping. As my picture shows. It was just a box, inside a much bigger box, with a single piece of packaging paper to keep the box from rumbling around inside the shipping box. The pavkaging designers from fluance did an excellent job though, as did UPS. Nothing was damaged. As for the Turntable, I am very pleased. The first 20 minutes the turntable sounded very quiet, and had little definition in the sound. Then, it quickly improved. Much better sound than the cheapo off brand we had before. I dont think you can find a better turntable for $300.

Outstanding turntable in every way. Impeccable fit and finish, beautiful to look at. Simple minor assembly, well packaged. Great sound.

After a decade or so away from vinyl I was gifted an old Techniques turntable, but it was very basic. I started buying used vinyl to fill in many gaps in my collection and to replace long-lost LPs. Soon the limitations of the Techniques led me to buy another turntable, and after extensive research I bought this and have been delighted. Its manual, you can adjust the weight and anti-skating, and the walnut veneer is beautiful. And the sound with the Ortofon is excellent. This really reminds me of my old Acoustic Research manual turntable from the mid-1970s - a simple belt-driven turntable that sounds excellent and has all the controls necessary to protect your vinyl. I love it.

I started with the RT-81 and after 9 months I upgraded to the 82. I purchased a separate cartridge, (AT 540ML) so I didnt need the 85. I will purchase the acrylic platter to complete the ensemble. This is an excellent beginner, and audiophile turntable. Both the Walnut and Piano Black look and sound incredible.

My entry turntable into the world of vinyl, and Im so happy with how it sounds! The build quality on this is great, and I just really love the design of this turntable. The piano white finish looks great as well.
