Product Review (submitted on April 21, 2020):
Ultimately went with this turntable after researching tons in this price range and slightly cheaper. I am happy that I chose this one and it sounds and looks great. I was thinking of getting the RT81, but after reading reviews and researching the styluses, I decided on the RT82 since I listen to a lot of jazz fusion music. I upgraded to the Fluance acrylic platter and have it paired with a Schiit Mani (piano black, black mani, and walnut Kanto YU6). When I wear out or get tired of the OM10, I can get the 2M blue and basically have a RT85 with a spare cart and stylus (or get OM20 for existing cart) and not have paid a crazy amount more. Definitely would get this model over others in the price range and would consider spending more over the RT80 and 81 if you plan on building a system around it or want to future proof against having to get a completely new turntable to upgrade.
