    I highly recommend this turntable to anyone looking for for a quality new turntable in the 300.00 price range. Be sure to purchase a digital scale for setting the tonearm weight, a vinyl cleaning kit, and a preamp if your receiver/powered speakers dont have phono inputs. Dont forget to read the instructions carefully. Dont panic when you turn it on and the platter doesnt move. The table ships with auto stop turned on. The platter wont start until the tone arm is over the record.

    Just bought this as my first turn table. I was going to go with the RT81 but the wood color was sold out and the other colors were the same price as this one. It was easy to setup, it’s easy to use, and it sounds great. Don’t forget that this DOESN’T have a built in phono preamp so make sure you buy one.

    Very good quality it sounds great. Beautiful finish. Only con is that the tone arm lift is a little too close to the tone arm rest. I would definitely recommend this turntable. Very pleased with product. I am somewhat of an audiophile. I have owned several turntables over the years and this one is by far the best ever. I listen to mostly classic rock prog rock and jazz. I have about 200 albums that range in condition from perfect to really bad. Im using a pioneer receiver from the early 90s complimented with a technics EQ, a set of small ohm speakers and a sub sat set of infinity speakers. this turntable sounds awesome! I went with the RT82 so I could get the better motor and upgrade options. the separation is incredible I feel like I am hearing some of these albums for the first time. The highs are crisp and clear I had to adjust the EQ a little to soften them a little. Mids are good not too harsh. Had to increase the bass a little its there but just needed a little boost nice and tight not muddy or distorted. Keep in mind I am talking classic/hard rock. the OM10 is very balanced for this table. Speed is spot on. No hum. Heavy and solid. Originally I intended to possibly upgrade the cartridge but now Im not sure. It sounds great as is! This table is gorgeous. Classic styling. solid, quality construction. I usually dont bother to review products I purchase but in this case I am so impressed I felt compelled to give Fluance a thumbs up for offering a great product at a fare price that stands up to what it claims to be. Good for you Canada!

    Amp: Denon PMA-350Z Solid State Integrated Amplifier (1975) Speakers: Klipsch RB-51 II Bookshelf Speakers I was considering this and the more expensive RT83, but due to recommendations from online forums I went with the OM10 on the RT82 over the 2M Red on the RT83. Many say the 2M Red is very bright and replacement/upgrade costs on the OM line is cheaper and I will likely go with the OM20 stylus upon replacement. Watch Fluance or another persons video you the Tube for setting up the turntable if youve never done it before. It will be much clearer than the instructions. Its pretty simple to do. I am no audiophile, but I think this thing sounds amazing. Its by far the best turntable Ive had. I cant compare to Rega, or Project, etc. but theres those comparisons on the world wide web. My favorite part about this is it can auto stop! This is fantastic for me that has zero attention span and can, and have, regularly get distracted and not stop the turntable when the records over. It takes about 20secs then the motor stops, saving your stylus. This setting can be turned off for you purist audiophiles. Another great feature is the cue lever. I love watching the thing as it slowly and gently drops the stylus down onto your record. Place the tone arm where you want it, and drop the cue lever to gently drop the stylus to the record. Again, preserving the life of your stylus.

    I have to say works very well for a low price turntable.

    I waited a month for this to come in and it was worth every second of it. I had read reviews and researched a lot of other turntables and even returned (the pro-ject) one to get the Fluance. The sound is crisp and you wouldnt even know there is a motor in it if it was possible. I did purchase an acrylic platter and it was 100% worth the upgrade. Would 10/10 recommend this to anyone in the market for their first turntable or even if youre in the market for a new one. I almost went with another pro-ject turntable and Im happy I didnt. You certainly can not beat it for the price (I purchased mine at 299, Im not sure what its at now). The only thing I would have liked to see is the option to purchase a Grado cartridge but I can always do that in the future anyway. Still, the Ortofon OM10 cartridge is an all-around great cartridge and I can see why they would offer these with their product.

    I will probably be ordering a replacement, but this first experience was not the greatest. Got it quicker than expected which was nice. Open it up and it was missing the gloves and instructions. Right there I should have known. Got it all setup and read all the instructions on the Companys website and it kept skipping my records. I did everything. I have an older record player that had no issues at all with any of my records. I talked with customer support and after a few days back and forth they couldnt figure out what the issue was. I have since sent it back and might upgrade to the rt83 from the RT82. You might want to buy direct on their website.

    I replaced a Philips 777 using an Ortofon 15XE MK2 with this turntable. I am using an ART DJ Pre 2, an Alesis RA 300, a DBX 1231 EQ, a Mackie DFX 12 mixer and Klipsch studio monitors. I was concerned that the OM 10 would not perform as well as my previous cartridge. This was not the case, as the OM10 blew my away with its performance. Balancing the tone arm is a little tricky but I have done this before so it was not too bad. Read the manual !! The other thing that I had to a little searching for was the input capacitance. This cartridge is 100pf and you need to set your pre-amp for this. If you dont, it adversely affects the sound. This is a great turntable and cartridge and was well worth the money. It is fully manual with no automatic features.

Ortofon OM 10 Cartridge for Exceptional Musical Accuracy

The OM 10’s elliptical diamond’s facets elegantly trace the grooves of a record’s surface resulting in precise and accurate playback while having a flat frequency response for a natural sound without any coloration.

Precision Playback with Motor Isolation and Speed Control

The precision servo-controlled belt drive motor with speed regulating optical sensor, continuously measures and adjusts variances in linear velocity and acceleration within a few hundredths of a percent at a wow and flutter of 0.07%. The decoupling of the drive from the plinth suppresses motor vibrations and noise from reaching the stylus. This maintains accurate speed and significantly reduces rumble so your records sound perfect at every play.
