> 3 dayFirst, this is a beautiful turntable in both sound and looks. It took a bit to put it all together correctly, but the directions were easy to follow. My problem is that I believed I was getting an automatic turntable where the arm actually returned to the resting stand once the record was done playing. Instead, the turntable just stops at the end of the record and stays on the stopped record, I cant imagine this is good for the needle and the description of AutoStop is a bit misleading. It is better than having the record continuously spin at the end, but not as good as when the needle comes off the record and returns to its resting stand. Id return it, but to take it all apart, try and get everything back into the box would be a huge hassle so I guess Ill learn to live with it. Just beware is all Im saying if youre looking for that fully automatic return feature.

09-06-2025I 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!

> 3 dayThis turn table is pretty nice. I upgraded from a briefcase record player. Had no idea how much those are trash. Balancing the tone arm is an art and setting everything up is pretty straight forward. It’s a work of art to look at. Chose to go with rt-82 for its ability to upgrade to be equivalent to an 85 if I so choose in the future. I totally love this turn table.

> 3 dayAn honest to goodness quality turntable. Sounds great and has been reliable without issue. I upgraded the platter to the high density acrylic platter and can upgrade the cartridge anytime although the Ortofon OM-10 it comes with is great. I was stuck between this and the debut carbon evo. I cant say anything about the evo buy I can say I have no regrets choosing this turntable. This may not be the highest end turntable but the quality for the money is right on point.

> 3 dayOnly thing missing for me in this model is a strobe and variable speed. Seems like it is on target regardless, I like this turntable and cartridge. Running it direct via the supplied 3ft cable to my AV receiver Phono input.

Pure Analog PerformanceThe Reference turntable continues our mission to deliver a warm, uncompressed listening experience that commands your attention, allowing you to get lost in the music. |
Ortofon OM 10 Cartridge for Exceptional Musical AccuracyThe 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 ControlThe 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. |

Wood Plinth for Superior Resistance to VibrationsThe mass-loaded multi-layered MDF wood chassis inhibits the transfer of unwanted resonance through the system. The 3 rubber, spike-type height-adjustable isolation feet minimize surface contact under the turntable resulting in immunity to environmental vibrations, allowing for greater low frequency signal pickup and improved imaging. |
Spectacular Signal ClarityCaress your records with the balanced S-shaped tonearm for accurate tracking of the record groove with no electronics in the signal path from the stylus tip to the gold-plated RCA outputs for a pure, exceptionally detailed sound. |
