Greater than one weekEasy to setup and sounds great right out of the box, great value for the money. Auto stop feature is not exactly what I thought. I could also not figure out how to get the leveling feet to work yet but turntable is level so it doesnt really matter and the stabilizing feet pads also work great. I read some reviews on the OM 10 needing a break in period, not sure about that, because it sounds just fine on the first play.

> 3 dayEverything about this turntable...looks, sound, quality build and size. I know I dont sound like an audiophile , but size actually matters. I needed something that would work well with the dimensional limitations that exist with my entertainment stand and this turned out to be an excellent fit! Having the speaker stands cutom built for the speakers (which have incredible bass for bookshelf speakes) to finish off the ensemble. Only complaint is that Fluance did not have the needed preamp available, so I purchased an inferior brand to get my turntable operational. Still sounds great, just wanted to stay with all Fluance components.

> 3 dayI bought the RT82 because my vintage Dual 502 turntable developed a hum that would increase with volume. I couldn’t track it down and had been looking into Fluance for months. I finally bit the bullet. It’s excellent all around. No complaints. Easy setup, even if you’re a beginner, so long as you follow the YouTube video. Excellent sound quality paired with my Sansui 881 and KEF 103/4’s. Get one; you won’t be disappointed.

Greater than one weekCopy 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

> 3 dayI started with an inherited collection and a suitcase player. Once I decided to get into this expensive hobby, I spend the 300 for this one. This has all the gizmos you need to play 180 gram records, most of the new pressed records, without it skipping. I tried to play Tron Legacy, my first bought vinyl, on a suitcase player and it would skip across the record. With this turntable, skipping was gone. The reason I say to spend the money on this one as your first true turntable is because of its upgrade capabilities. If you decide to really get into it, you can upgrade the needle, tonearm, even the platter. Its a good future proof player. The sound is great with the supplied cartridge(needle). The only thing youll have to invest in is a preamp. This turntable does not come with one built into it. You can find one in any budget but the sound will reflect the price you pay. Ive been told the Art DJ II is a good budge choice (beware the bright LED light). I use a Douk x1 that has a preamp built in and it sounds good. If you want to listen to more than a bunch of records given to you on a suitcase player, get this one. Its the perfect entry level player into the very expensive world of Hi-Fi audio. And invest in a record cleaner and needle cleaner! Clean those old records BEFORE you put them on this player!

> 3 dayFirst impressions are very good. I purchased the rt82 after lots of research and let me just say that every positive thing Ive heard about it was true. Its absolutely beautiful, has great sound quality, is easy to setup and just plain works great. The only down side I found was that it came with a few scuff marks under the platter area but its not a big deal.

> 3 dayI 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!
