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

Overall top notch especially for the money. Replaceable headshell was a must, really hard to find. Change the character of its sound in a few minutes with a headshell/cartridge swap.

Counterweight Indicator ring is difficult for me (66) when balancing to see. Other than that I love it.Auto shut off is very convenient. Great table

Ive only had this record player for a couple days, but so far it sounds great and is easy to set up. That said, in addition to a pre-amp, you will need a better power supply than the one provided. Its tiny, and your records will play slow as a consequence. Youll need a 12v, and old fashion block of an AC adapter that takes up too much room on wall socket. Other than the power supply issue, I love it!

Love it

On Amazon it states that you need a phono preamp but when I opened the box and read the manual it stated that a preamp is NOT required. So I now have to return the preamp

Nice unit. Great price. My bad boy sansui is rocking vinyl again. Excellent sound . I played my old stuff and it sounds good. Bought some new albums and wow what great sound .

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

This does a lot of things great. Great instructions, comprehensive packaging, sounds great in the best case scenario. However, they went cheap on the stylus. Once u get to the last one or two songs on the record, it struggles mightily on tracking - including new records. The stylus is cleaned regularly and routinely underperforms on the last couple songs resulting in heavy distortion. This would be a 5 star product if they instead included the OM20. You’re better off getting a $100 turntable with a $200 stylus.

Very pleased

The turntable works great and has produces excellent sound on both new and well-used records. One item in the set-up process (which was otherwise straightforward) which is VERY important is the ground wire to the amplifier. The 3 foot long wire enclosed did not reach my amplifier and I tried to play it without connecting the ground. Very loud static feedback and a loud hum was the result. A home made wire eliminated that completely. The troubleshooting guide also mentions that speakers should not be on the same shelf near the turntable which is where mine were), that the amp should not be too close to it and that using an extension cord or power strip may also cause feedback or a hum. Since I am using permanent built-in shelving, the distance from the turntable to the amp and to the nearest outlet were not reachable with either the supplied ground wire or power cord. Fortunately, using a power strip extension seems to work fine. Also, I was able to relocate the speakers away from the turntable. It would seem that some engineering could be done to eliminate or minimize the feedback and supplying a longer ground wire would enable users to keep the amp at a distance and still reach it without fabricating a longer one.
