RT81 High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player

I’ve had this turntable for a year now. It sounds and plays great with both new and used vinyl. It was well packaged and easy to set up. I’m using it with the built in preamp but I like that you can disable that and use a receiver if you want. The auto stop is also nice, since you don’t always want to jump up when the side is done. It’s a sharp looking turntable and is well made. I’m not an expert but I grew up with albums and have had a couple of different turntables. Getting back into records has been very rewarding.

Amazing Sound, Awesome product!! The RT81 blew my mind. Thanks so much for such an incredible and affordable Turntable.

Let me say right off the bat this is a beautiful looking turntable. Set up was very easy 10 minutes or less. For the price I don’t think you can beat the quality that fluence produces. After the burn in process I put on classical opera and it couldn’t sound better. I encountered no problems with the speed whatsoever. My only complaint is not understanding why the turntable has an on off switch. In the past my turntables would automatically turn off once I returned the arm to its cradle. Besides that no other complaints. I highly recommend this turntable for someone with then limited Financial means. What surprised me the most was a call from Julie making sure I was happy with the machine and do I have any questions. I thought that was very Thoughtful.

Love it. The only down is 17 revolutions before shut off? Is there any way to adjust that?

This is one of the most aesthetically handsome looking turntables I have ever seen (under $500). The Walnut cabinet is polished to a glass like finish. The sound the RT81 turntable produces is crisp and true highs & punchy but accurate bass. Steely Dan's "Gold" & Michael Jackson's "Thriller" have never sounded so good & life-like! The set up of the RT81 was a snap, following the YouTube instructional video. My entire buying experience was made painless when I ran into a problem buying online (my billing & shipping address were different) and couldn't complete my order, I contacted Customer Service and Whitney guided me through the purchasing process to completion with ease. Even hooked me up with the free handsome looking Fluance RT10 Vinyl Carrying Case promotion that was running at the time. Truly, in my opinion, this think this RT81 Turntable is the Rolls Royce of turntables (under $500) and couldn't be happier with mine.

I have been thinking about this turntable since it was first announced. I finally picked one up 2 weeks ago. It should sound good BUT:
1)Speed fluctuates so much that it is utterly impossible to listen to.
2) Loud pop when it is turned off or on. So much so that my receiver goes into protect mode!
3) Automatic shut off doesn't work. Ever. It makes no difference which of my albums I play. It just doesn't work.

I've never owned a turntable, so I have very little experience with them and as such my review should be taken with a grain of salt. That said, I LOVE this thing. In the month I've had it (bought from Amazon), I have already expanded my collection to approximately 10 albums. The sound is silky smooth once set up and calibrated.

I use this with an Onkyo Home Theater receiver and a 5.1 Fluance XLHTB Home Theater system and Fluance 12" DB12 subwoofer. I guess I've turned into a regular Fluance fanboy, but why not? Their products are amazing and customer service stellar.

I'm no professional reviewer. I spent about 2 months trying to figure out which turntable in the $300-$600 range would be the best to my liking. I spent $250 on this turntable. I couldn't be happier. It's beautiful, sturdy and I have no complaints about it at all.

Great value very nice looking looks more expensive than it is. Was a little fast after 24 hour break in Watched the web video for speed adjustment. Downloaded app for rpm. Worked great. A-T95e cartridge sounds great I swapped it out for my ortofon blue 2m and the sound didn't differ much. I was surprised how good this combo sounds. Using a Cambridge audio phono pre amp and everything from Neil Young to Miles Davis sounds fantastic. I highly recommend this table.

I moved to RT81 from another well known brand of turntables which cost much higher than this. After reading all positive reviews I wanted to give RT81 a try - I'm so happy that I did!
The same vinyls I have been listening over and over again previously sounds much better on RT81. I started to hear the instruments I haven't heard before, the soundstage and the presence blew my mind.
Setting up was a breeze with very clear instructions.
Build quality is excellent. The appearance is very classy.
RT81 Sound and looks like much more expensive turntable.
Well done Fluance!

I am very pleased with this turntable. Setup was a breeze after watching the setup video a couple of times. It took less than 15 minutes. The AT-95E cartridge is an excellent choice. It has a very wide frequency response. Overall this is a fantastic value.

Been using this beauty for almost 2 days straight now. No issues whatsoever, setup was a breeze, instructions were clear and easy to follow. Turntable sounds fantastic hooked up to my bookshelf speakers, and the diamond stylus really makes a huge difference in sound quality. Highly recommend.

The fit and finish is beyond words!Amazing sound! - Verified Store
