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

Solid, detailed build, beautiful sound.

Copy of review for the 81 comparing both tables: I got this one for my bedroom and the 82 for my living room which is much bigger. I mainly got this one for the walnut color which was sold out in the 82 and I figured Id compare them this way. Slightly different rigs. This one has a Sony amp with old Pioneer 3 way speakers vs an onkyo with polk towers downstairs. Both rigs are excellent but slight advantage downstairs and Id say the om10 is a slightly better cart vs the at95 but all in all these turntables are amazing. I played the first 2 sides of deloused in the comatorium on both tables. Sounds are Bouncing around the room. Om10 slightly prettier at95 slightly livelier. Both of these tables are amazing. One of my favorite albums really coming to life right out of the box. Ive heard the at95 needs burn in time too so this really is a great cart. Both are beautiful tables and solid af. The walnut is definitely my favorite but the black is very classic and looks great. Im switching from project rpm and technics which were also nice tables but I honestly think these are the best sounding tables Ive ever had. Also upgraded both to acrylic mats. You will not be disappointed. Id say go with the om10 but really both sound amazing

Wow. What an amazing turntable. I upgraded from an older Sony PS-LX4 and the difference in sound is unbelievable. You can tell Fluance put a lot of thought and care into this product. Everything about this turntable speaks of qualify and craftsmanship. I chose this over the AT-LP120XUSB/BT for the better stylus and auto-stop feature. I was specifically looking for a turntable that would stop after the record was done playing (as Im not always around to immediately lift the tone-arm) and this does it well. Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles have never sounded so good. I love it. Highly recommend!

I’m absolutely amazed by this turntable, it’s well made and the sound is great! Well worth the investment, no regrets. I also love the fact that almost all the components are upgradable.

I use this turntable to rip my LPs from the 60s thru the 70s. This turntable has given me some very clean CDs of my old LPs. These LPs where originally played once to record to cassette tapes.

I haven’t had a turntable in thirty years, this is well worth the money for under 300.00. Great sound easy setup.

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!

Like style, quiet running. Wish it was a little more automated, but knew that going in. The cartridge puts out great sound with quality. Easy to assemble.

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.

i looked into this turntable for months before purchasing and i have no regrets at all. i upgraded from an AT-LP60 and am very impressed with the quality of the fluance. i love that it came in white which matches my room perfectly. setup was very easy except it did take a little while to get the tonearm balanced but there were no issues with the turntable itself when i began unboxing. it looks great in my room and i love that i can upgrade the platter and the stylus along the way. so happy with this and i see a difference from audio technica if anyone is wondering if the jump in price is worth it!
