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

The turntable showed up when promised and it took me about 20 minutes to get it set up which was rather easy. IM not normally good at putting stuff together but this was really simple, assembly, leveling and function. Once I was ready to spin I put a Warren Zevon album on and was really nice sounding in spite of the pressing not most top notch. I then put on Carol King, Tapestry which was a much better pressing and the piano, vocals and bass notes were very clear. I used a vintage marantz RS2000 with small Sonus Faber speakers and was very pleasantly surprised by the sonic reproduction. Very pleased. Id recommend to a friend.

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!

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

This is my first turntable and I’m highly impressed by the sound.

amazing turntable for beginners.

I was hoping for a decent sounding turntable and expecting that the quality to feel a little cheap with the MDF base and price point but I was very wrong to think that! The tone arm and plate are very solid and even the base has some weight and feels sturdy, nothing about it feels fragile at all and the sound is wonderful. Vinyl is so open and clean sounding compared to mp3s and pairing this with the Fluance preamp really unlocks that openness. Paired with a decent pair of powered monitors and my albums come to life. Highly recommended!

This is a high quality turntable and a big upgrade from my previous setup. Be warned you need to ground the unit to your amplifier using the included ground wire or you will get a ground hum.

Everything about this turntable...looks, sound, quality build and size. I know I dont sound like an audiophile , but size actually matters. I needed something that would work well with the dimensional limitations that exist with my entertainment stand and this turned out to be an excellent fit! Having the speaker stands cutom built for the speakers (which have incredible bass for bookshelf speakes) to finish off the ensemble. Only complaint is that Fluance did not have the needed preamp available, so I purchased an inferior brand to get my turntable operational. Still sounds great, just wanted to stay with all Fluance components.

This is a great starter record player. I did a lot of research on it. I had to watch some videos though and carefully read the directions to setup the arm counter weight just right so it would play like it should. Sounds great hooked up to my AV receiver which has a phono input.

Great product and it was a great price.
