    Fantastic turntable for the money.

    Just received the RT-82 and I feel like a kid in a candy store. When cds hit the market in the 80s I moved away from my LPs, but with the renewed interest in LPs and turntables the last few years I have been considering jumping back in. I didnt want to go cheap, but on the other hand the Pro-ject and Rega models i was considering were at the top end of what I wanted to spend, but they are totally manual, and I wanted auto-return. I came across some reviews of Fluance and suddenly I realized that I had found what Ive been looking for. The RT 82-85 are all the same base turntable, but as you move up you get better cartridges and a heavier platter, but I went for the 82 for only, $300, knowing I can upgrade in the future. Its solid and heavy...I didnt want a light, plastic tt, and I had heard the pro-ject was lightweight. It took 30 minutes to set-up...pay close attention to the instructions for balancing the tone arm...but when I lowered the stylus onto the record it played perfectly the first time. And, though it doesnt have full auto return, the platter stops turning at the end of the record, so I dont have to worry about it continuing if I had something take me away. And although the sound is first rate, I wanted something aesthetically pleasing, and this is a beautiful, minimalist design. The piano black finish is gorgeous, and it perfectly matches my Peachtree amp. Bravo Fluance for a brilliant design!

    Quality components, smooth speed control. Might upgrade the needle to the OM-30 some day, but sounds pretty good with the stock needle.

    A turntable needs to be simple, good looking, and accurate. Well... welcome to vinyl perfection everyone old and new to the industry! My setup includes an Ortofon 2M Blue, along with an Ortofon headshell... Acrylic platter. Im also using a Pro-Ject phono box MM which is grounded, and my output is through a pair of Edifier R2000DBs. I only use quality cables...Ive just migrated from a Denon DP-300F. In my setup, the Fluance runs circles around the Denon in every category and its not even close. It makes any of my old turntables look like toys. The workmanship, precision build, weight, look, sound, performance, and price...are all amazing when compared to anything else. The ONLY better quality turntables for the curious listener might be when we are getting into the expensive Rega or McIntosh turntable ranges...and those cost thousands more! Im an experienced listener and tech savvy adult who has been around music, I also play music so I know quality from bullshit and I know turntables... and Fluance is one of the best brands Ive owned so far. This thing is so quiet and the acrylic is so perfect that I cant even tell its spinning unless I look closely. This actually exceeded my expectations because all other brands have some sort of issue or they are all known for something. I cant name 1 thing I dont like about my Fluance turntable... that says a lot in this day and age. BTW, the first LP I listened to on this turntable... Dark Side of the Moon. Money never sounded better. Soundstage, phasing, etc... all candy to my ears.

    Overall top notch especially for the money. Replaceable headshell was a must, really hard to find. Change the character of its sound in a few minutes with a headshell/cartridge swap.

    What is not to like? Best bang for the buck turntable on the market. Hands down. Sounds fantastic! Hit all the points for any audiophile looking for a great turntable for a decent price. You can always upgrade down the road with a new cartridge. But the one that it comes with is really nice. Beautiful finish. Low wow and flutter Adjustable tone arm. Anti skate. Easy set up. Come with nice cables. And ground strap. Upgradable. Lifetime warranty. This has been a wonderful investment to getting back into the listening to records again.

    Still not sure whether I wanted to jump back into vinyl but have a bunch from my youth that I hadn’t heard in a long while and decided to make the leap. Great entry level deck. Thanks to CheapAudioMan on YouTube for the Fosi Audio Box x2 Phono PreAmp recommendation.

    The Fluenc turntable is a very impressive package with good sound and great built the pickup haed is good although lakes little beet on the bass and output is little low Had to balance with my yamaha audio level trim so not so problematic on my set up The automatic stop at the end of the album side is a great plus. Anyway it is great to explore back my old vinyl colection and some new ones. All in all I would definitely recommend the product

    Counterweight Indicator ring is difficult for me (66) when balancing to see. Other than that I love it.Auto shut off is very convenient. Great table

    This is my first new turntable in perhaps 50 years. Back then most were record changers (Garrard, Dual, etc.) or the first of the consumer belt drive tables (Sansui, Technics, etc.). After the complexity of those units it is amazing just how very simple this manual table really is. Basically just a platter, motor, and tone arm as separate items on a wood base to hold them all together. The simplicity almost seems like a toy but it does the job intended and sounds great in the process. I bought the RT82 model for the electronic speed control and am not disappointed. If you are new to vinyl or just rediscovering like me this is a great table for you.

The Reference turntable continues our mission to deliver a warm, uncompressed listening experience that commands your attention, allowing you to get lost in the music.

Ortofon OM 10 Cartridge for Exceptional Musical Accuracy

The OM 10’s elliptical diamond’s facets elegantly trace the grooves of a record’s surface resulting in precise and accurate playback while having a flat frequency response for a natural sound without any coloration.

Precision Playback with Motor Isolation and Speed Control

The precision servo-controlled belt drive motor with speed regulating optical sensor, continuously measures and adjusts variances in linear velocity and acceleration within a few hundredths of a percent at a wow and flutter of 0.07%. The decoupling of the drive from the plinth suppresses motor vibrations and noise from reaching the stylus. This maintains accurate speed and significantly reduces rumble so your records sound perfect at every play.

Wood Plinth for Superior Resistance to Vibrations

The mass-loaded multi-layered MDF wood chassis inhibits the transfer of unwanted resonance through the system. The 3 rubber, spike-type height-adjustable isolation feet minimize surface contact under the turntable resulting in immunity to environmental vibrations, allowing for greater low frequency signal pickup and improved imaging.

Spectacular Signal Clarity

Caress your records with the balanced S-shaped tonearm for accurate tracking of the record groove with no electronics in the signal path from the stylus tip to the gold-plated RCA outputs for a pure, exceptionally detailed sound.
