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

It was easy to set up. Sound is very good.

Great quality for the money. I added a ortofon red. Just buy the 83

Still not sure whether I wanted to jump back into vinyl but have a bunch from my youth that I hadn’t heard in a long while and decided to make the leap. Great entry level deck. Thanks to CheapAudioMan on YouTube for the Fosi Audio Box x2 Phono PreAmp recommendation.

Great player for the money. Most people will have no problem with the little bit of assembly and setup required. It isnt 100% plug and play so I gave it 4 stars in the for beginners category but its by no means difficult. If you can hook up a component system you wont have any trouble with it. Ive never owned a higher end table so I cant compare but I have owned the more expensive Crosley turntable and that one wasnt nearly as good as the Fluance. If youre upgrading from an all in one suitcase style record player its a night and day difference. If you have no interest in future upgrades get the RT80 or RT81. If you want value with the ability to upgrade later get the RT82 or higher. Im sure the high end tables are better but I definitely think this one is at the point of diminishing return where youre not getting much more by spending a lot more money.

I have an RT82 and it has generally been great, but a few months in I had an intermittent electrical problem. Fluance support stood by their product and replaced it with one that is sounding great!

I haven’t had a turntable in thirty years, this is well worth the money for under 300.00. Great sound easy setup.

Havent had it for long but, so far so good.... Easy to setup and calibrate!

My husband requested this phonograph and he is extremely happy with it. The sound is wonderful and clear and he can play his old albums.

The whole RT lineup is great to see from Fluance. This is the perfect middle ground upgrade from most entry turntables. You get to start dipping your toes into the pre amp, power amp/receiver, passive speaker world. If you’re running powered speakers all you need is a pre amp. But the platform is there to upgrade. Looks great, build quality is great, and can easily turn it into a RT85 down the line with cartridge and platter upgrades. 10/10

Turntable is great, shipping speed from Fluance leaves a lot to be desired. I think they ship using a stagecoach, took 7 days to receive this. Other than that good purchase.
