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

I am very happy I purchased this turntable I love it. It sounds great and value wise for what you pay you cannot go wrong. The 2M Blue cartridge sounds great. The only small issue I noticed was on the back of the plinth where the cutout is for the connections there are a couple minor paint imperfections but they are very minor. Fluances customer service is top notch. They offered to exchange the turntable for me but because the imperfections are so small and on the back where you cant really see them I decided not to exchange plus I didnt want to go through the trouble of returning. All in all you cant go wrong with this turntable. Amazing product.

If you’re in the fence, get it. Huge upgrade. You get what you pay for, and in this case you get more than what you pay for! Looks and sounds great. Half the price of the turntable is the BLUE. Great quality!

I was disappointed that the tonearm was not automatic operated.

Great turntable for the price. Sounds great.

Very satisfied with the turntable! Clean sound and easy operation. Recommended as a mid tier unit for anyone who loves vinyl!

Im an old guy. Ive been buying and listening to LPs since the 60s. Ive bought and sold more stereo setups than I can recall, in flush $ times and lean. This is by a long ways the best turntable Ive ever owned. It has a great feel in use, and the heavy acrylic platter eliminates static electricity. The open, spacious top end of the sound of the turntable, combined with the Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge, and my Bowers & Wilkins speakers, is breathtaking. Its like a ceiling was removed. My current vinyl collection is all new again.

I listen to a lot of music, mostly jazz and this turntable performs flawlessly delivering clean detailed sound. The setup was straightforward and it looks nice too.

Very happy with this turntable. Matched with a Marantz 2270 receiver it sounds great.

So when I open the box, turned out that it didnt come with a headshell with a stylus, either counterweight.

Excellent sound and construction quaility for the price.
