Fluance RT85 Reference High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player with Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge, Acrylic Platter, Speed Control Motor High Mass MDF Wood Plinth Vibration Isolation Feet - Piano Black

Blue ortofon is a little light in the low frequencies. Bought for my daughter who wanted to upgrade to something substantial.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Kauf. Der Plattenspieler ist nicht günstig aber hat eine sehr höhe Tonqualität und Klarheit. Die Herstellung scheint robust und zuverlässig. Die Acryl-Drehscheibe ist optisch sehr schön. Das Zusammenstellen und die Benutzung ist einfach.

Set up is a breeze. Hooked up the TT base with power, RCA cables and ground wire. Added some anti noise ferrite core to the RCA cables. Like the ground wire with copper contact. Very good RCA cables out of the box. Next level the platform, very easy with the leveler that came with it. Then add the motor cover and then the acrylic platter and the belt. Add the cartridge and balancing weight and then balance the stylus force to 1.8g. Then I checked the alignment and Azimuth and both are right on the button. Set the anti skate to match the 1.8g. Finally add the dust cover. Use Dire Straight album for test. Clean, beautiful, detailed music came out of the Heresy pushed by Emotiva TA-100 using internal phono pre-amp. Well worth the money! Can’t wait to put my other cartilage on it and see what it can do!

Excellent sound and construction quaility for the price.

Quality entry level system for a good price! Interesting enough Im putting together a mid century modern spin on a project using the Fluance RT85N. Needles to say Im beyond impressed and would recommend to anyone interested in reasonably priced quality Hi-fi stereo equipment!

Excellent turntable. 100% worth the money.

Ive been building my dream sound system since I was 14. Im now 69. My first quality turntable was a Technics, Direct Drive, Fully Automatic. Although it was expensive, I never skimped on guitars, amps, or stereo equipment. Back then, no cartridge or stylus came with the turntable. So I bought a Stanton EEE cartridge. After 50 years of non-stop use, she stopped working.

I am convinced that this is THE best turntable you can buy for under $1500. It is absolutely incredible, and an incredible value. Im glad I talked myself into the rt85 over the rt81.

Great sound and great look.

Everything that I have been missing all this time from my vinyl records, I am hearing it finally. There is nothing else to say but: AWESOME to the max! Cant recommend it highly enough.
