High Density Frosted Acrylic Platter For Fluance Reference Turntables

I purchased the RT 82 and used my own Shure V15 vmr cartridge rather than the OMD 10. I upgraded the platter with this acrylic and my music has never sounded better.

Nice platter. Definitely doesn't resonate or " ring " like the original platter when you flick it with a finger.

I purchased an RT82 about a month ago, and decided to do my own upgrade with a Nagaoka MP200 cartridge and the acrylic platter. The cartridge greatly improved the stereo separation and dynamic range over the Ortophon OM10, as expected. But the big surprise was the impact of the acrylic platter. I had expected the platter would offer a dramatic upgrade in appearance, and it does. But I thought the sound improvements would be only subtle. Wrong, wrong, wrong. The acrylic platter produces a noticeable deepening and strengthening of bass, it removes sibilance from recordings prone to same, and it completely changes for the better the sound of solo piano. With the aluminum platter, piano notes in lower registers never sounded natural when compared to a real piano. With the acrylic platter, the notes all sound natural. The acrylic platter is not just a cosmetic improvement; it provides a significant improvement in sound quality.

Love my new Fluance,, makes my hobby ( collecting
And playing records fun again ) last turntable flimsy with terrible sound … Fluance is very sturdy great sound and a beautiful turntable.

Looks great performs even better

Almost the best purchase I’ve made from Fluance but it belongs to the RT84 but a very close second. There was an immediate cosmetic improvement it looks so good but then comes the unbelievable acoustical balance of sound that filled the room. I think you get the picture it’s a must have.

Looks 100 times better than the aluminum platter.

Gone are the days of platter mats coming off with the record.

I bought this to upgrade my RT-82 hoping to eliminate static. I had a lot of pops and crackles previously. I actually did a few upgrades but this and the preamp upgrade seemed to help the most. My full setup is schiit mani, FT-82 with acrylic platter upgrade and my handy ZeroStat which I run multiple times on every record I get. I have nearly no static now on truly clean records, it's fabulous. This is hands down one of the best upgrades I have done, I was skeptical at first. If you're getting static and looking for a solution, upgrade to an acrylic platter!

It looks and sounds fantastic. I started with an RT-82 now I essentially have an RT-85N. I noticed that the acrylic platter helped bring out some more detail from the warmer sounding Nagaoka MP-110. In my opinion, it was an excellent upgrade.

Nice upgrade. Additional weight really adds smoothness. Next to upgrade cartridge. Original turntable is a RT-83.

So far I’ve been really impressed by all of the offerings from Fluance. I purchased this to upgrade my RT82 and it does two things out of the gate: it makes my turntable look hella slick, and it does seem to improve some of the stability. Couple this with the weight and it’s quite a combo. There are reviews that dig into the audio improvements, but my primary driver was one of aesthetic. Recommend it in either case.

Game changer. All the statics are gone once I have this acrylic platter installed. Highly recommended!!

Absolute awesome product. I know not a lot of people notice a difference but I can tell in the mids and highs a big difference.

Like a lot of comments on here i noticed better bass and better stereo separation plus it looks great on my rt82

I do hear a sound improvement and Less static And of cause just looks cool. Great add on improvement to be offered t Fluance
