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

added it to me home stereo system, great addition. looks fantastic and sounds even better. First time ever using or setting up a turntable, and everything went along just as the directions and videos said. did I mention it sounds fantastic...

I purchased the RT82 because of the price and the fact i can upgrade it over time to an RT85 or better. It sounds great as is, so may leave as is. I got the bamboo color as I think the black and walnut (although beautiful) would be fingerprint and dust magnets. Highly recommend this turntable!

I didnt plane it this way, bought the denon X3500h from Amazon based on bang for the buck was looking for good sound quality and home theater at the same time since I mostly watch movies, and some Martinlogan 35xt matching center channel and dynamo 500 sub. Spent many hours trying to get hd/ hi res audio to sound good but just wasnt sounding as good as my old teac 501 dac and beyerdynamic t90 headphones sound. Then i noticed the Denon had phone input and decided to get the rt82. Blown away at how good new records sound, cant stop buying them. Who new the Denon phone amp and the rt82 would sound this good? Who new I loved Jazz try Grant Green.. Nice!

This is an amazing turntable. A huge step up from my Audio Technica LP60. A gorgeous and heavy table that looks and feels like quality. The OM10 cartridge sounds excellent. This table is also a great investment since it’s easily upgradable to a red or blue Ortofon cartridge. This will be by go to table for years to come. Exceptional value.

The turntable was packaged very securely and it shows that the company really cares that their products reach you undamaged in order to produce the best results. The setup was really easy, but I suggest watching their video on how to balance the tonearm because the instructions alone arent crystal clear. It looks aesthetically pleasing, takes up minimal space, and it plays so beautifully. Even with my perfect pitch (which made listening on other players annoying), I can only detect very minimal wow and flutter. With my setup (Schiit Mani pre-amp, Sony SS-C55 speakers, Sherwood receiver), my records sound like live performances. I wouldnt get any other player unless its from Fluance.

I don’t know to much about turn tables but I went for this one after reading up on it and it’s in the mid range price wise but most importantly the quality and the look are superb. I assembled the few pieces with ease. I had help balancing the arm though which really wasn’t hard just a bit intimidating to a beginner. I have played a few very old albums that have proven that this turntable has proven to be the best for the price for a beginner album enthusiast.

Noticeable upgrade from the RT81 model. Bamboo looks sleek. My setup uses a bellari preamp, Sony receiver, and passive Sony bookshelf speakers. Recommend adding in a record weight for stability and added audio improvement. Make sure to grab a vinyl record cleaning kit. The Ortofon stylus on this turntable is great at picking up the slightest amount of dust on a record.

I started with the RT-81 and after 9 months I upgraded to the 82. I purchased a separate cartridge, (AT 540ML) so I didnt need the 85. I will purchase the acrylic platter to complete the ensemble. This is an excellent beginner, and audiophile turntable. Both the Walnut and Piano Black look and sound incredible.

First turntable purchase after extensive research and reading reviews. Very pleased with what I received for the price. I forgot how much I love the sound of vinyl records. This is already creating awesome memories with family and excellent to vibe out alone in the dark to your favorite records.

Probably the best turntable and arm in its price range. Beautifully built and easy to operate.
