> 3 dayTough to decide whether to upgrade an automatic with better stylus or work an already great sounding table requiring more guess work. I noticed the other lower quality players couldnt play some older records as evenly as this player does. Sound quality is noticable better but playing every record well is important. The RT85 seems to get the job done better than many others out there. I would upgrade in a heartbeat for an auto player of this quality. This turnable plays the new and old albums properly and thats why it wins.

> 3 dayGreat turntable. I’ve been very satisfied with this so far. Easy set up (beginners may need to take their time and read the instructions and maybe watch a video or two) But I was familiar with the process from previous turntables. The ortofon blue cartridge is one of my favorites. Definitely recommended for a midrange priced turntable. Features I’d expect on higher priced units.

> 3 dayDefinitely recommend this turntable. I believe it is probably the best turntable under $1000. So easy to set up. Sounds amazing. I mean the stylus on this turntable alone is worth half the price of the turntable and you get an acrylic platter.

> 3 dayWonderful product overall and extremely happy with my purchase so far. Only complaint is I wish it came in more of a matte finish with added color options.

> 3 dayThis sounds AMAZING! This is my first introduction into the audiophile range of tables and styli and I am blown away!! I upgraded from a 1980s (maybe even 70s for all know) GE TT1000... blah blah fully automatic TT with Audio Technica AT92E cartridge. Though, it really did not sound bad at all, it was just time for an upgrade.

> 3 dayI had previously attempted to purchase this turntable through Fluance as they advertised free shipping. However, a shipping charge was added to my cart and on principle I declined the sale. When I saw it available on Amazon Prime, I decided to make the purchase as the reviews were excellent and I liked the price point.

> 3 dayFor this price you cant go wrong.. Sounds great, cartridge is great and the platter adds to it. Cartridge and head shell were aligned out of the box. All you have to do is balance it. Auto stop works well and has not failed yet.

> 3 dayIt’s been 30 some years since I had a turntable. I did a lot of research on them and the RT85 looked quite solid. In many reviews, comparable to turntables that sell for twice the money.

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. |
