RT81 High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable

As a turntable novice, I was looking for something that looked and sounded good at an affordable price. The RT-81 seemed to fit the bill. After the unboxing and incredibly easy set up, I know I made the right choice. This turntable looks and sounds GREAT!

As a beginner, I can’t say much but it is gorgeous and the sound quality feels like I’m at a live show. I researched turntables extensively and decided to settle on this one because of the positive reviews all over the internet and the easy set up!

This turntable is great to look at, solid, sounds fantastic. What is not to love about it. Don't hesitate, buy it and enjoy it!

Great turntable, worth double the price and awesome performance!

Good performance for very little money. Sound is astonishingly good. Rubber mat a must to tame the platter than rings like a bell. The autolift doesn't work consistently. Overall, it's a keeper.

After a few weeks of owning, I am very impressed by RT81 model. Fluance went beyond aesthetics and performance with this turntable.

The RT81 is gorgeous. I was set on buying the Audio Technica LP 120. I'm so glad I discovered Fluance before I did.

Fantastic! Ordered as a gift for my husband and he loves it

This is a beautiful turntable, easy to set up, had it for about 2 weeks and am enjoying it very much.

If you're like me and are just getting into vinyls, this is probably one of the better ones out there; the price is reasonable enough to not break your bank without compromising build-quality, easy to setup, and provides for a great listening in experience. Love it.

After 3 months it still performs better than I expected. Looks great; sounds even better. Like the cartridge but I have ordered a second shell to house my Shure M95E so I can compared. Expect it to be comparable.

When my 35 year old turntable finally died and I was in the market for a new one I spent a fair bit of time online researching what was available. When I came across the Fluance brand I was intrigued. First because it's a Canadian company and second because of the rave reviews. Also the price seemed incredible. I place an order and my turntable arrived within a few days. It was easy to set up and get up and running. I am used to using a fully automatic turntable so it will take a bit for me to get used to the manual aspect of this unit, however, so far I am very impressed with it. I'm sure it will stand up well and last for years. I am so happy with this brand that when I upgrade my speakers I will look no where else except to Fluance.

I love this turntable! Worth every penny and then some! Excellent customer service! Julie is extremely helpful and responsive.

I haven’t used a turntable in 25+ years. Now my kids are getting into guitars, drums & vinyl and we decided to look into getting a turntable and playing the old tunes. What a great purchase!!! This product is gorgeous and looks fantastic with our stereo. The sound is great. Hearing music the way it was meant to be is awesome. A great product at a very reasonable price. Customer service and the website is fantastic. The RT81 arrived sooner than expected and the packaging was very solid. It works perfectly.

In my 40s now, I've only owned two turntables in my life, both bought used but solid, reliable performers—a sub-DJ level Stanton and a similar Gemini more recently. Finally got tired of balancing the tone arm using washers due to the missing counterweight and decided it was time for a solid, decent, reliable turntable—and time for a new one!
This Fluance RT81 was strongly reviewed by The Wirecutter and let me tell you it is a solid, good-feeling machine. It feels substantial, the tonearm is beautiful, the glossy wood is not ostentatious but appears almost black from across the room (I was worried about this a little). I burned the motor in for a day as recommended. I actually haven't spun any records yet (I know, weird to write a review this way) but wanted to offer some initial thoughts on build quality. I think I'll be happy here.
