> 3 dayI bought this a couple years ago. It is a good record player. Sounds great and meets expectations for the price. However...something recently happened where the arm moved over and turned on the player. My cat may have jumped on the turntable to cause that to happen. Anyway, the turntable probably was running continuously for a week, so the motor burned up. 100% my fault because I should have turned the turntable off, which it allows you to do. However, I am a product of the 70s where turntables did not have that feature, so why would I do that? Now to my point: I called Fluance customer support to try and figure out how to replace the motor. They asked me to send them a recording of how the motor sounded, so I was encouraged that they were interested in helping me. Afterwards they went dark. I followed up via email 3 times, no response, so I called them. The guy who answered said, sorry, cant do anything for you. I asked if they knew of a source where I could purchase the motor. The guy said, sorry, cant help you...So anyway, the motor that is in the unit is very hard to find. I was pretty much out $300. Again, my fault for not turning off the unit, which I now know to do. So the moral of the story, you can buy this, it is a nice sounding player, but if you have to deal with any customer support issues with Fluance, well their name should really be flatulent.

> 3 dayI have an RT82 and it has generally been great, but a few months in I had an intermittent electrical problem. Fluance support stood by their product and replaced it with one that is sounding great!

> 3 dayI purchased the RT82 because of the price and the fact i can upgrade it over time to an RT85 or better. It sounds great as is, so may leave as is. I got the bamboo color as I think the black and walnut (although beautiful) would be fingerprint and dust magnets. Highly recommend this turntable!

> 3 dayA 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!

Pure Analog PerformanceThe 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 AccuracyThe 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 ControlThe 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 VibrationsThe 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 ClarityCaress 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. |
