Vraiment un belle platine!! Facile à mettre en route son vraiment excellent. Je recommande à qui veut commencer dans le vinyle

After having a crappy suitcase style turntable for a little over a year, I decided to upgrade and I am extremely pleased with my decision to purchase this turntable. I realized that I needed to upgrade after I realized how much money I was actually spending on records! Setup was extremely easy and I did everything myself. Im a 23 year old college student and this was so easy to set up that I didnt have to ask my dad for help, and hes the electronically savvy one. After setting everything up and playing a record on it for the first time, I punched myself in the face for not upgrading earlier! Ive now had this turntable for a little over a month, and I love her so much Ive named her.

Don’t let some of the reviews turn you away from this gem. I was looking for something practical yet reasonably priced. I originally thought about going for the Audio Technica LP-120, but I decided on this one instead, as I like the more classic wood finish, compared to the LP-120, which has has a more modern silver look to it. This turntable is fantastic. I’ve had it for about 3 weeks now and it’s been preforming beautifully. Set up is a breeze with the included instruction manual, and once you get it set up, just cue the tone arm, and bam! You’re taken back to the 1950’s and 60’s with full, clear, deep and rich audio that this produces. Even at the higher spectrum of volume with a pair of bookshelf speakers I also bought off Amazon, the highs and lows are crystal clear, and vocals are as smooth as butter. Great buy for the price, looks fantastic too if you’re looking for that classic nostalgia.

Love the quality & sound of Fluance RT81, this isnt for beginners only, even audiophile who doesn’t want to spend much but looking for quality turntable, this is the answer.

I havent played my albums for over 40 years. I am still trying to repair my old Dual 1229 but now the incentive is gone. My Fluance 81 sounds great. In fact, better than I ever remember. Of course a fully automatic table would be nice but for the price and performance, I am happy to get off my butt to flip/change the record. Not only does this turntable sound great, it looks impressive. Buy it!

I’m not claiming to be a high level audiophile but I am a musician who knows what he wants to hear from a recording and turntable. The Rt81 more than delivers. I chose to bypass the internal preamp electronics and purchased the Fluance external preamp. I also have this setup hooked up to Edifier S2000MKIII’s. I am amazed with the quality of this unit. It also doesn’t hurt that it is great to look at!

Very well made, easy to set up, and excellent sound as well as beautiful to look at. The plinth is heavy and mechanical operation is very smooth from the platter to the tonearm. Very pleased with this turntable!
