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

Like everything about this turntable. Great build quality. I was not familiar with the Fluance brand name but did my research online reading reviews of their products and checked out their website. Decided to give them a try and happy about my decision.

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.

If you are looking to upgrade from a cheap, full auto turntable or are looking to dip your toes into the hifi hobby, this is the one to get. It is a basic no nonsense turntable that plays records and plays them well. When comparing this to the U-Turn Orbit this one is the clear winner. It has a better tone arm, a better cartridge, replaceable headshlell and in my opinion just looks better. I prefer the retro vibe of this thing to the more contemporary design of the U-Turn orbit. The only reason I could see getting the U-Turn over this is the fact that they are mostly hand built by mostly American parts in America. If that is your thing then go for the U-Turn but otherwise this Fluance is clearly the better value.

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.

A beautiful turntable that looks like a piece of furniture, with its shiny lacquered wood finish and dark dust cover. Since its manually operated with some initial setup needed, I dont recommend for a beginner (although the setup is quite easy). The sound through my new Denon AVR is outstanding with its OM 10 cartridge (that is easy to upgrade). Overall, very satisfied!

Love the turntable love the speakers love the preamp. Only problem is Every other record I’ve bought for this record player on Amazon has arrived damaged

On Amazon it states that you need a phono preamp but when I opened the box and read the manual it stated that a preamp is NOT required. So I now have to return the preamp

Great turntable, love stylus. No problem putting together.

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

Love the sound quality. I finally decided to throw money at a nicer sound system for my records after using audio technica for years. The set up was a little hard to understand but I eventually got the hang of it. Looks amazing in my space and the sound is immaculate!
