    I did a lot of research and it ended up between the RT82 and the Audio-Technica AT-LP120. I’m so glad I went with RT82. This turntable is so great and the features on it is so nice for the price range. I’m not that critical on sound and think the Ortofon OM10 is just perfect for me. I do think I will get an acrylic platter down the road. Overall it sounds great and couldn’t be any happier.

    After watching several hours of reviews on YouTube I purchased this turntable. It seemed like a good balance of price and performance. One thing I found compelling was that Fluance makes all of their Reference-series turntables fully upgrade-able. Meaning, you can start with this unit and upgrade the parts as your budget or inclination dictate. I also had to do some research into the stylus/cartridge, since Fluance uses the Ortofon OM series stylus on the RT82 and the Ortofon Red/Blue on the higher ones, I did look at what those would cost to upgrade, and if it would be worth it. Because you cant just swap the stylus (different line/design; you can swap out the whole cartridge) it would be fairly expensive and a better deal to just buy a higher level turntable out of the gate. However, it seems that there are higher OM series styluses available that are roughly equivalent to the Red/Blue styluses. All that being said, the humble RT82 sounds great as-is out of the box, and I will need to upgrade other components before I worry about the stylus. Overall, exceptionally pleased with the purchase!

    First of all Ill start by saying. I cant fault a thing about this turntable, but marketing I think missed the boat. Everything works perfectly, and no question in my mind about the claimed specs. This thing is rock solid, and keeps time like a pulsar. Dont be shocked when it exceeds the recording standards on some older and lower quality pressings. I researched turntables for months before I bought this. In this price point its the closest I found to a no compromise table. I only have one gripe about this. Its not just the Fluance line, its most all of them. That marketing thing. I ended up buying this table because I picked up a Grado cartridge for my other table. The direct drive I have been happy with for years. If you have not heard the rumor that Grados hum on direct drive tables. Im here to tell you they can. You would just start to notice it near the end of the last track. Thats not gong to work for me. Out side of that, I love this cartridge, but I was going to need a belt drive. Now the truth be told, the Mll Red, and Blue are two of the cartridges I passed on before I got the Grado. So I picked up the RT 82 because I had my own cartridge I wanted to use. I had no want, or plan to use any they offered with this or, the 83, and 84. Thats my gripe. Why doesnt Fluance (and some others) offer their tables with out cartridges? I know there are a bunch of us that have carts, and manufactures that we know, and use for our own reasons. I really do like this table a lot, but just kinda feel like Im having a cartridge forced on me I really didnt want. But in the end, the Fulance, and Grado are an epic combination! To be fair, I only used the OM 10 it came with for about 10 minutes. Just to make sure everything worked. It sounded like a new cartridge that needs to be broke in. So I have no input as to how this table sounds with the Ortofon.

    Great quality for the money. I added a ortofon red. Just buy the 83

    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.

    Very good quality it sounds great. Beautiful finish. Only con is that the tone arm lift is a little too close to the tone arm rest. I would definitely recommend this turntable. Very pleased with product. I am somewhat of an audiophile. I have owned several turntables over the years and this one is by far the best ever. I listen to mostly classic rock prog rock and jazz. I have about 200 albums that range in condition from perfect to really bad. Im using a pioneer receiver from the early 90s complimented with a technics EQ, a set of small ohm speakers and a sub sat set of infinity speakers. this turntable sounds awesome! I went with the RT82 so I could get the better motor and upgrade options. the separation is incredible I feel like I am hearing some of these albums for the first time. The highs are crisp and clear I had to adjust the EQ a little to soften them a little. Mids are good not too harsh. Had to increase the bass a little its there but just needed a little boost nice and tight not muddy or distorted. Keep in mind I am talking classic/hard rock. the OM10 is very balanced for this table. Speed is spot on. No hum. Heavy and solid. Originally I intended to possibly upgrade the cartridge but now Im not sure. It sounds great as is! This table is gorgeous. Classic styling. solid, quality construction. I usually dont bother to review products I purchase but in this case I am so impressed I felt compelled to give Fluance a thumbs up for offering a great product at a fare price that stands up to what it claims to be. Good for you Canada!

    I was initially a little intimidated by all of the parts that poured out of the packaging. However, the instructions were very clear, and after a few mistakes in attaching the counterweight, I was able to assemble everything successfully. I was also a little suspicious of just how dynamic the sound would be. And although it may be in large part due to the speaker connected to it, I have to say Im was astounded at how wonderful the sound of the first record I played filled my living room. This turntable looks really nice and all of the parts have a very solid feel to them. This is a quality product. And Im loving rediscovery the beautiful rich sound of vinyl.

    Got a totally unplayable unit. End up returning it. I wasted a ton of time in the assembly, troubleshooting in the internet, and with their support not able to resolve. Ugh. So frustrating.
