My first real Turntable and I love it. The look, the quality and sound without breaking the bank. What is not to love

White piano color simply beautiful,this RT 81 sounds pretty good ,I'm using ortofon blue ,a better audio cables makes all the difference, acrylic mat,and record weight,the price is right and this color is new for fluance line up,I'm pretty happy,thanks Fluance keep doing the good job!!!

RT81 sounded good and looks beautiful but there's a few concerns.
*Cueing lever feels so flimsy and will probably will not last
*RCA cables are cheap, WTH Fluance!
*Speed was way off! I mean not expecting 33.3 but 33.78!
*Provision for the 45 adapter should have been thought out..

Looks great and is super easy to assemble. Beautiful sound quality.

I'm a newcomer to the vinyl turntable experience, but can't imagine a better turntable. The build quality is excellent, and so is the audio quality. Having a built in preamp and auto-stop are great for me, but knowing that I can bypass the built in pre-amp down the road and upgrade to a separate one is awesome.

I like this turntable. It is well built and looks nice. The setup process was nice and smooth. The auto on/off feature is nice. I am not an expert in turn tables, so I can't make a lot of comparisons. After more research I wish I had spent just a little more money on an upgraded model, but I still think this is a really good value for my needs just starting out.

Sounds fantastic, I purchased the the turntable to listen to Vinyl LPs.

What an outstanding turntable! It's a gorgeous piece and the build quality is terrific. Not one aspect of it feels cheap or like it was neglected during design & production. Setup is a breeze and after the recommended 24 hour burn-in I'm thrilled with the quality of every record (new & old) I've played on it. This is an absolute steal for $250.

Sound is great! First record player purchase in decades.

I'm very happy with my RT 81. Looks vintage and classy and it really sounds great!

Great sound and easy to use.

Excellent set up and good directions. Really great sound! Can’t recommend enough.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  First of all very well packaged. I’m dusting off my old vinyl collection and diving back in. I looked at a lot of turntables before pulling the trigger on the RT81. I am by no means an expert, but I did a lot of research before buying. I like the look of the piano black so I actually opted to buy the ‘used’ option from Fluance as the black was back ordered and $50 more than the Walnut finish when I ordered. Looks brand new and was packaged like it was brand new. Thought I would throw that in for anyone considering going that route. Saved me $70. No regrets from me going that route.I chose the RT81 because of the built in preamp and the option to override that if I ever expand my set up in the future. I plan on hooking up a pair of Sonos Five, but those are back ordered so right now rolling with some old speakers I had laying around. Still sounds outstanding. I’m heavily invested in a Sonos setup so I felt it was natural to hook this up to Sonos speakers.I also chose this as I am using in my bar area at home. I don’t have a ton of space so the ability to hook up directly to speakers with out a receiver, external preamp, etc was appealing.Set up was a breeze. Will likely upgrade the stylus at some point, but very impressed twitch the standard stylus. Tested the speed and it was about perfect, so didn’t even mess with it.I have no complaints. I would like if this was fully automatic, but the auto stop works as expected. I would like it if it returned the arm, but that’s not big deal. Had a few questions when purchasing and Fluance was outstanding in responding. 5/5 for me considering the price is very reasonable.

I did a fair amount of research, and then a good bit of hesitating on pulling the trigger on an all-in-one turntable option for the office at my new job. Finally pulled the trigger on at RT81 and couldn't be happier. Super easy setup via the printed directions and worked perfectly the first spin. The sound is wonderful and the build is very solid. Would highly recommend to an other!
