RT85 Reference High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable

Product Rating:

Product Review (submitted on September 24, 2020):

I had a great turntable before that I had upgraded with an Ortofon 2m Blue. Being familiar with the cartridge made evaluating the table/arm much easier as I was hearing the differences between the tables and not trying to eliminate the influence of a new, unheard cart.

The RT-85 is simply sublime for the price. My ONLY minor gripe is that I wish the tone arm lift lever was all metal and not plastic. There is nothing functionally wrong with it and it's merely a feel thing for me.

To me, this table/cart combination is the new line for the point of diminishing returns.
