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

I just took delivery today and Im very impressed overall. I have a modest system driving the music through an Onkyo 8140 receiver into a pair of Paradigm Mini Monitors (from the 90s). This table is pulling everything from the vinyl. I ordered a second headshell to mount an Ortophon 2M Red that I recently purchased trying to upgrade my old Philips 677 table. This will allow me to keep the factory setup OM10 in case I dont like the sound. Just popped on Little Feats Sailin Shoes (yep, Im a geezer) and the album sings! The only caution is that there is considerable setup and assembly. Instructions are very clear though. Also, the auto stop function is unique and very useful. Dont hesitate. Update: I received the second headshell and mounted my OM2 Red cart. I was a bit disappointed in the performance vs. the OM10. The 2M Red seems a bit muddier and less open although the bass response is at least as strong, maybe a bit stronger. I would probably advise to save up for an OM2 Blue instead since the reviews seem to suggest a big dynamic upgrade from the Red. Bottom line is that I actually prefer the OM10 and am sticking with it

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.

One of the best TT Ive ever owned. I hope to use it to get back into vinyl listening.

Its a very solid performer. This is a good starting or intermediate turntable and beyond. The thing that is great about this model is that its perfect just the way it is and should last you a very long time. However, if you are the type that likes to upgrade like I am you can choose another cartridge and even an acrylic platter and upgrade it. You wont be disappointed with this turntable thats for sure. Ive been listening to vinyl since I was a kid in the early 70s and I have had a few turntables through the ages and this one I would buy again.

Nice unit. Great price. My bad boy sansui is rocking vinyl again. Excellent sound . I played my old stuff and it sounds good. Bought some new albums and wow what great sound .

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.

This is the best sounding turntable I have ever used and it is beautiful set up is easy and upgrading is super easy I purchased the vinyl platter and a spare belt from fluance and put a ortofon qbert that I already had and it sounds amazing. The auto stop takes about 5 to 8 revolutions before it stops. I shoped for weeks before I pulled the trigger on my flaunce turntable and Im very happy I did its will last me for years to come...

Good product, I purchased 2 units and very happy with both.

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!

Coming from a more basic turntable, it took me a while to figure out how to get the tonearm balanced. It wasnt until I found Fluances video on the subject (Amazon wont let me provide the link but its on Youtube) that I finally got this setup without the tonearm skating. The turntable sounds great with the stock cartridge/needle, and looks great with its shiny white finish. Love the auto-off feature as well - the fact that the arm does not return to the starting position is no big deal for me.
