Fluance RT81 Elite High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player with Audio Technica AT95E Cartridge, Belt Drive, Built-in Preamp, Adjustable Counterweight, High Mass MDF Wood Plinth - Walnut

Vinyl Heaven!

Easy set up, nice cartridge, decent phono stage for the price. It looks great and sounds great!

Very nice, well made turntable. Followed the instructions for assembly and letting it run for 24 hour burn in period, and have had no problems. Plays well and looks great. Its a pleasure to be listening to my old vinyl records again.

Nous avons ressenti un immense plaisir à déballer notre platine vynil ! On apprecie immediatement la qualité de fabrication de Fluance. Installation plutôt simple même si la phase déquilibrage du bras principale nous a donné quelques sueur froide pour éviter que la pointe de la cartouche ne touche pas le plateau. Je recommenderai dutiliser un bouchon de bouteille en liège retailler de sorte deviter la cartouche de toucher en le positionant en amont du bras principal. Une fois les réglages effectués, nous avons branché nos enceintes audioengine pour un son juste ..magnifique ! Quel plaisir ! Je vous dirai que mon simple petit bémol est quune marque canadienne ne propose pas de notice dinstallation en français ! Mais encore une fois cela ne retire rien à la qualité exceptionnelle du produit

Easy to assemble. Looks fantastic. Great for beginners.

If youre trying to decide between this turntable and the (apparently super popular) Audio-Technica LP120-USB, and youre not a DJ, I recommend this one. The RT81 is the third record player Ive tried out in my attempts to re-boot my record collecting interests, in the price point that works for me, and its the winner. I tried one of the Audio-Technica LP60s, but found it too cheap-feeling, so then I went with the AT LP120-USB. But I could swear that it sounded too muddy/mid-rangey, given the hype its received. So before I returned it, I got the RT81, and played the same record on both units. The RT81 was better-sounding than the 120-USB to my ears; brighter/clearer, less mid-rangey. Whats interesting to note is that both units ship with the SAME cartridge, the AT95E, so my conclusion is that the on-board preamp of the RT81 is better than the 120-USB. I read another review of the 120-USB by a fellow who sounds like an expert, and how theres a sacrifice of sound quality to get the USB function to operate, so I can only agree with him.

For the price point you cant go wrong with the customizable options and quality.

love it ....... looks great sounds great ....I run it through my sonos system

love this turntable. very sharp looking and it plays great. it does everything i need it to do. set-up was simple and i would highly recommend!

The product arrived within four day. It was easy to set up and balance. Only had the turntable for a few weeks but it works well and sounds good . Have recorded several albums to cd and I am very happy with the results.
