Product Review (submitted on June 15, 2019):
The RT 82 and I am sure the 83-85 are a breeze to set-up. Just take care balancing the tone arm as it is important, but not difficult. I did get a VTF gauge to verify the correct tracking force and a protractor as I also bought and upgraded cartridge, a Sumiko Olympia. The combo sounds great. Highly recommended. I was waiting for a RT 85, but couldn’t wait any longer so I bought the 82 and added the additional cartridge, not that the Ortofon OM10 isn’t decent. I heard a Sumiko on a friends TT and really liked it. The RT85 will be a super deal if they ever get back in stock since the Ortofon Blue is valued at $230 itself. Snap it up when it gets back in stock. I bought the walnut veneer version and it is beautiful.
