Fluance RT81 Elite High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player with Audio Technica AT95E Cartridge, Belt Drive, Built-in Preamp, Adjustable Counterweight, High Mass MDF Wood Plinth - Walnut

Upgraded from my first suitcase turntable to this and i must say it is a significant improvement. I am in the early stages of my journey collecting records but this is an excellent start. If i had some the research in the beginning this is exactly where i would’ve started. Balancing the tone arm took me a few tries (the recommended weight for this cartridge is 2 grams) but i was able to get it. I highly recommend buying one of the tone arm scales as well just so that you can get it approximate if you’re a beginner like myself. Spend the extra bit of money for a great turntable like this, it makes s huge difference. Fresh out of the box it feels like quality material . The rest of the set up is easy. Oh! And make sure you check the styrofoam for all of the parts because some of them were obscure and could easily get thrown away if you aren’t paying attention.

I have been looking for a moderate priced turntable. This turntable looks great, is easy to set up, and sounds amazing. I love it!

Very good quality for the price. Quick delivery and excellent packaging. Easy setup.

Ordered this turntable prime to have for the holidays. The day I got it, opened it up and saw how beautiful it was. Sturdy. Nice piece of equipment. Well, about a minute later this annoyingly loud HUM feedback type of noise starts and never stops. Occasionally it will move to right channel or left channel only, but it never stops. So, I go to their chat support. The person on the other line determines its defective. I send it in. 2-3 week turnaround time. Really? this thing is brand new. It should just work. Nope, they want to fix it. Ok whatever what choice do I have. Well, 2 weeks later I get it and its packaged up like its brand new, I plug it in, and same exact thing. Ive tried different outputs, different wires, different plugs in the wall, no difference. In fact the hum it might be LOUDER than it was before. Im not happy with this thing.

Completely satisfied with my RT81. Easy setup.

Fluance’s quality is unreal. This turntable is solid wood and looks amazing. The sound is great and setting it up was no problem. Don’t look any further for a turntable under $500. Buy this one now.

LOVE it. Its perfect for our Airbnb. I didnt want to spend a ton, but wanted something better than a cheap suitcase-style player. This was fairly easy to set-up, thanks to the video instructions on YouTube. I got the matching speakers and we were playing records in no time! So fun. And it looks awesome!

Sound quality is excellent!

Love it!

I purchased the RT80 turntable, my very first record player. Im very satisfied, it has all the elements of an entry level player. The auto-stop function, cue lever, pre-amp and shock absorbent feet. Of course, all of these features dont mean anything if it didnt sound good. Ive listened to mostly classical music, spot on! Thanks!
