FluanceRT82 Reference High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player with Ortofon OM10 Cartridge, Speed Control Motor, High Mass MDF Wood Plinth, Vibration Isolation Feet - Piano White

A turntable needs to be simple, good looking, and accurate. Well... welcome to vinyl perfection everyone old and new to the industry! My setup includes an Ortofon 2M Blue, along with an Ortofon headshell... Acrylic platter. I'm also using a Pro-Ject phono box MM which is grounded, and my output is through a pair of Edifier R2000DB's. I only use quality cables...I've just migrated from a Denon DP-300F. In my setup, the Fluance runs circles around the Denon in every category and its not even close. It makes any of my old turntables look like toys. The workmanship, precision build, weight, look, sound, performance, and price...are all amazing when compared to anything else. The ONLY better quality turntables for the curious listener might be when we are getting into the expensive Rega or McIntosh turntable ranges...and those cost thousands more! I'm an experienced listener and tech savvy adult who has been around music, I also play music so I know quality from bullshit and I know turntables... and Fluance is one of the best brands I've owned so far. This thing is so quiet and the acrylic is so perfect that I can't even tell it's spinning unless I look closely. This actually exceeded my expectations because all other brands have some sort of issue or they are all known for something. I can't name 1 thing I don't like about my Fluance turntable... that says a lot in this day and age. BTW, the first LP I listened to on this turntable... Dark Side of the Moon. Money never sounded better. Soundstage, phasing, etc... all candy to my ears.

This is so cute on my white console and I'm loving listening to my old records again. Too bad it comes with black power cord instead of white.

Fluance rt82 turntable is a great turntable, have it teamed up with a new Spinbase speaker. Rocking out to the tunes from yesterday.

i looked into this turntable for months before purchasing and i have no regrets at all. i upgraded from an AT-LP60 and am very impressed with the quality of the fluance. i love that it came in white which matches my room perfectly. setup was very easy except it did take a little while to get the tonearm balanced but there were no issues with the turntable itself when i began unboxing. it looks great in my room and i love that i can upgrade the platter and the stylus along the way. so happy with this and i see a difference from audio technica if anyone is wondering if the jump in price is worth it!

Coming from a more basic turntable, it took me a while to figure out how to get the tonearm balanced. It wasn't until I found Fluance's video on the subject (Amazon won't let me provide the link but its on Youtube) that I finally got this setup without the tonearm skating. The turntable sounds great with the stock cartridge/needle, and looks great with it's shiny white finish. Love the auto-off feature as well - the fact that the arm does not return to the starting position is no big deal for me.
