> 3 dayI recently had to replace one of my turntables. I own a VPI Scout and replaced a Shinola Runwell with the less expensive RT 85 Fluance. After three years, the Shinola Runwell developed a tracking problem. I sent it back to Shinola for repair (Shinola has a great warranty). When the turntable was sent back, the motor was damaged. Due to the pandemic, Shinola offered to replace it but production was delayed. Eventually the replacement turntable arrived after two months. Unfortunately, it was also damaged upon delivery. The motor made a noise during rotation. Shinola agreed to refund my money. The Shinola was a $2500.00 turntable.

> 3 daySo I spent a week trying to get my old technics sl 23a to play 33s to no avail. Then spent the rest of lockdown researching ,reading reviews on here and YouTube (thank you Vinyl TV). After all that,and what with it being my 50th and being made redundant,like alot of folks, went the whole 9 yards and got this beauty. It is the absolute business,looks amazing, sounds better than it looks and easy to follow instructions make it breeze to set up. Had it a fortnight now and its only going to sound better when it beds in. Cant find any problems with it yet, so I can highly recommend this beast. Buy it,enjoy it,love it, you wont be disappointed.

> 3 dayI bought this turntable to replace an older Technics model. I concurrently bought a Music Hall mmf 2.3 SE on sale to compare performance. Same price.

> 3 dayThis is a great turntable. Sounds amazing and looks great. It is easy to setup and has specs that are comparable to turntables costing much more. The finish of the deck is quite nice. Since I paired it with my Denon AVR-X3700H receiver I didnt need a pre-amp. Great turntable! I love it!

> 3 dayI’ve been researching turntables for some time now. I kept coming back to the Fluance RT85. I feel that the RT85 is a great value.

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. |
