> 3 dayWe have used this turntable for about 8 months now and have nothing but good things to say. It was simple to set up, sounds wonderful, and is well constructed. It also looks great too. Currently using the pre-amp in an Emotiva BasX TA1, Emotiva 8 Sub, and AudioEngine HD6 speakers and we love it.

> 3 dayI love this TT! Setup was easy and sound quality is amazing! I already had a nice mid-level table, and was hesitant to upgrade; unsure if I would notice any sonic improvement. The Ortofon 2m blue and acrylic platter make a huge difference. Build quality is better than expected as well. Auto off and speed control are nice bonus features. This has to be the best value in turntables at <$500.

> 3 dayPurchased this fluence RT85 from Amazon, it was a used unit I assumed returned and refurbished, or demo or something it did not specify, but the auto stop function was intermentioned at best maybe 2 out of 10 times it would stop, the cartridge was very dusty and dirty, it had differently been used, I cleaned it up it seemed OK and sounded fine, the dust cover had a couple light scuffs on it but I was expecting something like that buying a used unit, functionality wise though the auto stop feature not working reliably was unacceptable for $500. I gusee it was not checked out correctly, Fluence makes a great product and a good value, just buy a new one not a used one.

> 3 dayI believe you can spend thousands for a turntable but theres a point of diminishing return, to me, this is it. If you already have a decent pre-amp and good sound system. You will not disappointed to buy this at all. It sounds great to me on all records from Oxygene, Michael Buble, Celine Dion and Santana, even oldies like the Shadows. Fluance has created a treasure to keep. Dont think I want to spend than this. Highly recommended!

> 3 dayI spent a month researching turntables under $1000. This Fluance RT85T is the best audiophile turntable for the money. Easy setup. Plays warm, natural music without adding any color to the music. Volume was to low after initial setup. Contacted Yamaha. They promptly returned my call and suggested increasing the volume trim for the phono input. Sounds great!!!

> 3 dayBelle construction et finition. Facile a assembler. Le son est remarquable. Pour ma par la Fluance RT85 remplace un platine Technics SL-1800 de 1979 avec une cartouche Rega carbon. Sans nul doute une meilleur clarté et définition des aigus.

Pure Analog PerformanceThe Reference turntable delivers a warm, uncompressed listening experience, allowing you to get lost in the music. With no electronics in the signal path, from stylus tip to the gold-plated RCA outputs, for an exceptionally pure sound. |
Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge for Spectacular AccuracyBeautiful playback from the nude elliptical 2M Blue cartridge featuring a rich, elegant, and natural sound. Adding greater dynamics and resolution, reproducing more detail while maintaining a flat frequency response for a pure sound without any coloration. |
Clarity in the Sound with the Acrylic PlatterThe high density and greater mass of the acrylic provide increased inertia to achieve a consistent speed, while damping unwanted vibrations by trapping and dissipating the energy. Acrylic has an analogous resonant frequency to vinyl records to aid in the cancellation of undesirable reverberations resulting in a 3-dimensional soundstage with improved bass definition, a richer midrange, and greater signal clarity. |

Precision Playback with Motor Isolation and Speed ControlThe 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 for 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. |
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 adjustable isolation feet minimize surface contact under the turntable resulting in immunity to environmental vibrations, for greater low frequency signal pickup and improved imaging. |
