Product Review (submitted on September 9, 2020):

I started my turntable journey about six weeks ago. I started with a very popular introductory model and was not very impressed with it for many reasons including skipping and lack of adjustments.
I returned it for a more advanced model of the same brand and was initially impressed with it's performance, but for the price I wasn't impressed with the build quality and attention to detail on it.
I found out about Fluance and realized for about the same price I could have a much nicer piece of equipment! A real work of art. A center piece in my audio experience.
I chose the RT83 as the best point of entry in the reference turntable lineup. It had a nice stylus/cartridge in the Ortofon Red and still fit within my budget!
I was very impressed with how fast it shipped out and the level of attention of the packaging it arrived in, the white gloves were a nice touch!
I am blown away on just how good this turntable sounds! Maybe it's the real wood plinth or the needle? either way it's very impressive for the money! Highly recommend Fluance to anyone looking for a new turntable!
