Fluance RT85 Reference High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player with Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge, Acrylic Platter, Speed Control Motor High Mass MDF Wood Plinth Vibration Isolation Feet - Piano Black

Easy to assemble. Good idea to watch a video about how to set the thing up. Its pretty simple, even for someone who has not had a vinyl player for about 20 years. I initially thought the entire ortafon stylus was the protector piece, luckily I didnt toss the thing since its about 200 bucks. Make sure you get a pre amp and the fluence speakers seem to work well. My only gripe is that it sometimes goes quiet and then pops loudly. I guess its part of the break in process for the system. Hopefully it works that out after use.

I couldnt be happier with this turntable. Im getting back in to vinyl and this was replacing a 35 year old turntable. Easy setup, it looks great and more importantly it sounds incredible.

Dont overthink like I did, you will love it. Get a solid preamp and itll sound amazing. Clear rich full bodied balanced sound. High quality, sturdy, beautiful. Looks amazing in white. Setup is fairly easy, read the instructions carefully and have some patience.

I believe you can spend thousands for a turntable but theres a point of diminishing return, to me, this is it. If you already have a decent pre-amp and good sound system. You will not disappointed to buy this at all. It sounds great to me on all records from Oxygene, Michael Buble, Celine Dion and Santana, even oldies like the Shadows. Fluance has created a treasure to keep. Dont think I want to spend than this. Highly recommended!

I havent listened to any of my albums in over 20 years. Theyve been packed in boxes, tightly and I wasnt sure how they would sound.

One look at the specs tells you this is hardly a budget turntable. Specs like those are usually seen at or above the $15,000 mark. It is an outstanding bargain at this price. What are you waiting for?

Sounds amazing. Easy setup. Cartridge is a game changer. its also sexy AF.

We have used this turntable for about 8 months now and have nothing but good things to say. It was simple to set up, sounds wonderful, and is well constructed. It also looks great too. Currently using the pre-amp in an Emotiva BasX TA1, Emotiva 8 Sub, and AudioEngine HD6 speakers and we love it.

Very solid turntable. Great sound quality. Love playing my old records again!!

I was concerned from a few bad reviews amongst all the raving reviews, but fortunately I did not end up with a lemon, which can happen even with the best turntables since they are precision instruments.
