Responsive service . Good product

I did a lot of research before purchasing the RT80 and I think this is the best budget turntable currently on the market. Overall I'm very pleased with the RT80. It lacks some of the features that the higher priced models have but the RT80 is a great turntable for the price.
-
Got this for my sons foray into the vinyl world. Top notch design and so far a all around solid performer. Outclasses most other turntables in this price point. A beauty to look at too!

Very nice product. Need help getting sound and balancing tone arm.
-
I am enjoying the Fluance RT80 turntable. The setup was easy, and the fluance videos on youtube was helpful. The build of the turntable is impressive, and solid. The RT80 sounds great with my Onkyo amp and PSB towers. I did not want to spend a fortune on a turntable but wanted quality. The RT80 does leave off some of the more expensive extras but makes up for it with quality build and performance. I love the finish of this component.

This was super easy to setup. Maybe 10 minutes. Cartridge was nicely aligned out of the box. Sounds great as is. You wouldn't know that this is their table with the least cost. Absolute bargain!!! This should be every ones first or additional turntable.
-
Great turntable! I did a ton of research on what turntable to get for less than $200 and I chose the Fluance RT80, I really liked the removable cartridge and adjustable counterweight. It wasn’t too hard to set up. Looks amazing. And sounds awesome! The only thing I thought could of been different is the felt mat instead of a rubber one. Seems like even the cheap turntables come with rubber mats.

GREAT PERFORMANCE AND SOUND

FAQs
Fluance turntables do not include built in speakers.
To use a Fluance turntable, connect it to a home theater receiver or amplifier for use with passive speakers, or connect it to a set of powered speakers such as the Ai40 Powered Bookshelf Speakers.
If your receiver or speakers do not have a specific PHONO input or integrated preamp, RT80 and RT81 both include an internal preamp for quick and easy setup.
An amplifier is only needed if you’re connecting the turntable to passive speakers such as the Signature Series Bookshelf Surround Speakers.
If you’re looking for an option without a separate amplifier, the Ai40 Powered Bookshelf speakers fit the bill.
With the Ai40, all you need to do is connect the included RCA cables to the speakers, turn on the internal pre-amp and you’re ready to listen to the music the way it was meant to be heard.
If you’re using an amplifier without a phono input, or some powered speakers such as our Ai40 model, you will need to use the preamp by sliding the switch to the “LINE” position.
The tonearm of the RT80 and RT81 model turntables is compatible with cartridges from 3.5 grams to 6.5 grams in weight.
