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

Solid, detailed build, beautiful sound.

After researching various turntable models, I went with the RT-82. With the purchase of a pre-amp and set of speakers playing vinyl is truly enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Excellent sound quality. If youre new to vinyl collecting just note there is some assembly required but the instructions are pretty clear. Also note that this does not have a built-in preamp so you will need to hook this up to a sound system that has one, such as one with a Phono input. If you dont have one youll need to buy the PA10 Preamp from Fluances website, its about $100.

Works great! Would recommend

A beautiful turntable that looks like a piece of furniture, with its shiny lacquered wood finish and dark dust cover. Since its manually operated with some initial setup needed, I dont recommend for a beginner (although the setup is quite easy). The sound through my new Denon AVR is outstanding with its OM 10 cartridge (that is easy to upgrade). Overall, very satisfied!

The performance of this turntable seems hard to beat. I recently got into vinyl and purchased an entry level option from Best Buy. Realizing I was in love with this hobby, I returned it. After researching options that you could purchase new, there were a few options and I ultimately landed on the RT82 for a few reasons. I chose this turntable because of the speed controlled motor, the cartridge/stylus paired with it, cue lever and auto-stop features. I have had the turntable now for just over a month and have spent several afternoons spinning records. I paired the TT with a DJPRE II and it sounds fantastic.a I have been very impressed with the performance and overall the build quality of the turntable seems very high. The piano black finish is definitely the way to go, and I appreciate the small things included like gloves for setup and a bubble level.

I’m just getting into vinyl and didn’t want to spend top dollar, but didn’t want a cheap turntable with Bluetooth. I found the RT82 and pulled the trigger because of its price point and the ability to upgrade cartridges down the road. I’ve only got a couple hours of listening in and I’m loving it.

I loved this turntable at first. It was easy for a novice to set-up and the sound was quite good. I, like many other reviewers, am annoyed that the arm doesnt automatically return after the album is finished. But, the belt is slipping after listening to no more than 5 brand new albums. My more than 200 vinyl collection was stolen and Im gragually (and expensively) replacing it. It was a major disappointment when I heard the stylus dragging over one of my new Pink Floyd replacements. I knew it was a stretched belt and I knew my settings were correct.

Great product at a good price. Great quality for beginners, and not just beginners. Turntable works with preamp Fluance PA10.

Really pleased with my purchase of the RT82 turntable. First it is beautiful (walnut), then simple to setup and use. Had one issue setting it up. It would not spin the record with the black motor cap on. Called and talked to Julie. Sweet and helpful. She instructed me to remove the motor cap and try it. Works perfectly! So I am enjoying playing my old vinyl records. Wow they sound good. Using an Ifi Zen preamp. Love the Fluance turntable and the Ifi Zen. Fluance people are really nice and helpful. They are busy so you have to be patient when you call. Sign of their success.
