Product Review (submitted on October 23, 2019):

After wanting to get into the hobby for a long time I was finally given permission... lol. I had a very nice existing audio system at home and didn’t want to just use any turntable. I’m quite particular so I wanted a system that was very good but didn’t want to break the bank. I came across Fluance via YouTube and checked it out. What sold me was the ability to upgrade the table as I go. I got the RT82 because it didn’t have a preamp (which I already have a nice one) a solid cartridge to start with the ease of updating to Red, then Blue, then... So I figured once I’ve upgraded cartridge after my current one needs replacing and maybe then the platter I’ll have a system that’ll satisfy the audiophile in me. All that being said the stock RT82 is great! So no real hurry to upgrade anything as the sound of everything is fantastic as is. The setup was simple and the resources available via their website and manual had me confident that once setup everything would be as it should. The final thing I would have to say is the value I got from the system. In my price category this system was the best value for the money for sure. A real positive experience as I enter into the world of vinyl.
