Fluance RT82 Reference High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player with Ortofon OM10 Cartridge, Speed Control Motor, High Mass MDF Wood Plinth, Vibration Isolation Feet - Bamboo

I love this RT82 Turntable. It is flawless and sounds beautiful. Everybody comments on how beautiful it is and then when the records start spinning they slide right into how fantastic it sounds. I added an acrylic platter mat with a longer term goal of upgrading to an acrylic platter and OM20 stylus. Built like a precision tank that will last longer than I will.

After much research I purchased the RT82 turntable. And after three weeks of listening to it, I believe it is the best turntable for the money out there. It is value, beauty and quality all in one. Not only do newer remastered albums sound great, so do 50-year-old albums. And very easy set-up. Very happy with the purchase.

In my life, I owned an Empire turntable, considered one of the best at the time. Then a direct drive from Yamaha. After a few decades without having one, I cannot really compare. What I can say is that it is much better quality due to technology improvements and certainly cheaper in today's money. I enjoy listening to vinyl again.

I research turntables and powered speakers and Fluance RT82 appear to be the Best Buy, so I brought it ! Very pleased with the ease of setting up the system and now enjoy listening to LP's. Before moving to America, I had A Rega planar 1, the RT 82 performs as well as the Rega. I do like the auto stop feature, I have found this very useful. Yesterday I install an Orfoton OM 20 stylus upgrade, it was well worth the upgrade.

I used to have a massive stereo set up, but I haven't owned a turntable in two decades. My brother convinced me that I need one. Fluance is what he recommended. I was not disappointed. I love this thing! I had forgotten how awesome vinyl recardings are and now I have one of the best tools to play them. When I'm ready to upgrade, it will only be Fluance I shop.

I was hesitant at first buying direct from the manufacturer. What if I had a problem. This device is top quality with a great sound. I don't expect to have any problems and should have purchased sooner.

It's an absolutely stunning piece of equipment. Sounds beautiful. Easy to set up even for a first timer. My only issue is how easily the dust cover scratches. I used my shirt to wipe a smudge and it left tons of micro scratches. I know it's made clear in the instructions to use a microfiber cloth to dust it, but I didn't realize even slight pressure from a shirt would ruin it. Other than that, absolutely excellent purchase

Ordered the RT82 in Piano white and also the base plinth in white also. . . they look great! Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the Orton cartridge that came it was poor. . muddy and lousy highs. . I upgraded to the 2M blue and huge difference. . I recommend it!

RPM and wow and flutter, unevertful for me. VERY good and precise. I love the Bamboo look and it disguises dust. Other colors show the dust. The "end of record shut off feature is wonderful. I'll leave my listening area for a while and I dont worry about the needle spinning on the record , cause it stops. The supplied cartdrige is a wonderful piece, As equipped and priced it's a wonderful combination. The RT82 is a VERY solid foundation or upgrade from lower priced tables. Plenty of upgrades are available when you want or desire. Setup is easy, along with plenty of other instructions and pointers on the internet.

I spent months researching turntables. I watched reviews, read blogs, and scoured the internet for advice. I ultimately chose the RT-82, and I'm elated with my decision. Setup was straightforward, the unit is attractive and seemingly well built, but most importantly, it sounds wonderful. I have it paired up with a Douk Audio P7 tube phono preamp, and the result is delightful. I've listened to music I've heard a thousand times before, and am hearing detail and nuance that have previously eluded me. The clarity, space, and depth are all extremely pleasing. The unit looks great, sounds great, and hass all the features I was looking for. I also chose the RT-82 for it's ability to be upgraded over time, but the more I listen to it, the less I feel it will be necessary. 10/10, would recommend.
