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

I bought the RT82 because my vintage Dual 502 turntable developed a hum that would increase with volume. I couldn’t track it down and had been looking into Fluance for months. I finally bit the bullet. It’s excellent all around. No complaints. Easy setup, even if you’re a beginner, so long as you follow the YouTube video. Excellent sound quality paired with my Sansui 881 and KEF 103/4’s. Get one; you won’t be disappointed.

Not only do records sound great on this turntable, the turntable is also eye catching with its walnut finished. I love the all black plate and instruments. I have it connected to the Marantz SR5015 receiver and Bowers & Wilkins speakers. The dust cover was damaged upon delivery so I reached out to Fluance rather Amazon. Fluance sent out a new replacement cover to eliminate the hassle of returning the entire unit back to Amazon. Awesome customer service Fluance! Thank you Brent!

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 can not say enough how happy I am with the purchase of this turntable. Out of the box and in about 15 minutes we were listening to our albums. They sound fantastic. I purchased the RT82. If you purchase this model make sure you have Phono port on our stereo. I did not realize they stopped putting these on Stereos. I had to have add a Preamp. I purchased the ART DJPREII Phono Preamplifier and the sound is great. Originally I had a different preamp and the bass was not very good. However when I switched to the DJPREII the Bass was perfect. I also got the Piano Black and my daughter got the Walnut. both look great but really like the black!

This is my first record player and I couldnt be happier with the sound and how beautiful it looks. Highly recommend this as your first player.

The sound quality is amazing. I bought this gift for my husband for his birthday he loves the fact that they came like gloves because its so shiny. He can stop bragging about it how much he loves her. I would highly recommend for anyone who likes to play records.

Included with purchase is a pair of white gloves, water level and turntable Matt. One of the best features of this model is the ability to level the record player with its adjustable feet. Two in the front and one placed in the mid-back, allowing for ultimate goals of music playing. I live in a room which isnt level, and has front leaning furniture when stationary. Something like this is key in my collection. You get what you pay for, and in this case, you get far more important things in this purchase. One of the most incredible and learning experiences you can have when assembling the device. Seriously.

Works perfect ,sounds is great , very well made. I did have to add a preamp.

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.

Coming from the lower budget TT, this is blowing me away. I like that I can upgrade the needle and the platter and end up with the high end model. The sound is great, it looks fantastic on my shelf, I love how the black vinyl pops out a bit more on the lighter bamboo color, and i dont have to worry about walking lightly or worry about my speakers on the same surface ( i still use isolation pads for the speakers) affecting the playback. The instructions walk you through the setup pretty good, but you may want to look up a video on calibrating the tone arm because the instructions for that are a little lacking for a first timer.
