> 3 dayPro: The finish, removable cables, low rumble, heavyweight platter, grounded connections, massive discount on a stunning Ortofon Blue, accessories, perfectly set out of the box (I checked many times). I had a Rega P3 with a lot of upgrades and this new turntable sounds quieter and more detailed than even that. Im keeping both for now as its hard to sell a turntable at the moment, excellent weight setting and antiskating. If youve ever tried an Ortofon red like I had and didnt really like it even compared to AT or Rega carts then trust me try the blue!

> 3 dayI have the RT85 paired with a Schiit Mani 2 and it sounds phenomenal. This is a well made and pretty turntable for $500. If you’ve never balanced a tonearm before do not follow the Fluance manual the steps are not great. Locate the Fluance Youtube Video that walks you through the setup.

> 3 dayFor the money and its looks this turntable knocks it out of the ballpark! I looked and studied this table for a year before I pulled the trigger and purchased it. My previous table is a Technics SL-1200 MK2 and it is in excellent condition. I mounted a Audiotechnica AT-120E on it, and after learning how to align the cartridge,adjust tracking weight and anti-skate along with the VTA and arm height I thought was sounding great! I thought of ordering the 2M Blue and putting it on the technics table for an upgrade. Once I received the Fluance table and set it up I was blown away by its sound! I was hearing things I hadnt heard before on my 1st table. The sound and seperation was truly amazing. It caused me to go on a vinyl spending spree that Im still on! My lps I purchased in the 70s and 80s sound amazing along with the newer 180 gram albums Im collecting. Just wish I purchased the table sooner!

Greater than one weekThis is my first turntable so technically I am a beginner. Set up was easy with the included instructions and the sound out of this thing is crazy good. Super detailed with the mods sounding just a touch recessed. Perfect for me - human hearing already is overly sensitive to those frequencies anyway.

03-06-2025Have been listening to the Rt85 for about two months and would say it has burned in. The sound is very nice, clean, warm and open. It was very sharp at first, but has smooth out over time. Looking forward to hearing what it sounds like when paired with a ifi phono preamp.

Greater than one weekI have been using this turntable for about a month. Coupled with this cartridge and a small Phono Box S2 preamp it produces an excellent soundstage.

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. |
