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

This is awesome. Love it. Cant recommend it more. All you need to have a great listening experience.

Fluance does NOT pay for the expensive return shipping for this heavy item. And youre gonna want to return it. This turntable has one thing going for it- the aesthetic. And thats how I got suckered. Even the fancy needle cant redeem the shoddy quality of the device. Theres no automatic loading arm and putting the needle on the record manually with the shoddy plastics that make up the smaller parts proves precarious and could easily damage the fancy needle. The external pre-amp setup was enticing for an audio nerd like me who craves pristine sound without electrical interference. Like the well-reviewed OM10 needle cartridge, its more sucker-bait. Fluance doesnt even provide all the required RCA cables and they dont warn you ahead of time. So imagine my experience gifting this to father and setting it up together only to find Fluance doesnt give you all the parts to make it work. I bought matching Fluance speakers and their preamp thinking it would reduce compatibility issues. Speakers didnt even work. And now I have to pay a small fortune to return ALL of it. Save yourself the anger, disappointment, time and money. Dont buy this record player. Looks cool/piece of crap

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!

heavy and solid, runs smooth and quiet.

Set up was easy. Instructions were clear and detailed. While playing the first record I was thinking I should have upgraded to the 2M Red stylus but after reading some forum posts about styli needing 10 to 50 hours of break-in time Ive put about 15 hours on this and it seems much more detailed. Im playing this through a 1974 Kenwood amp that Ive never had serviced so after I take it in for a checkup Im sure Ill get more listening pleasure from the new RT82. I would definitely recommend this to anyone not wanting to spend a fortune to listen to good quality sound.

Very easy to set up nice looking and sounds very good through my 43 year old Pioneer receiver. on the nit picky side a place for the 45 adapter would have been nice as I have misplaced it already.

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.

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

I loved this turntable at first. It was easy for a novice to set-up and the sound was quite good. I, like many other reviewers, am annoyed that the arm doesnt automatically return after the album is finished. But, the belt is slipping after listening to no more than 5 brand new albums. My more than 200 vinyl collection was stolen and Im gragually (and expensively) replacing it. It was a major disappointment when I heard the stylus dragging over one of my new Pink Floyd replacements. I knew it was a stretched belt and I knew my settings were correct.

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.
