I did constant research before making my purchase for the RT82 versus other competitors. So far, I am enjoying my first turntable! I am content with the packaging, quality and company as of now.

As someone a bit new to vinyl, I had listened to my records on a new -but cheap- turntable, or on a good -but old (and worn)- turntable. To be able to finally do this on a new-good turntable is quite the pleasure. Sounds amazing!
(And looks amazing too).

Great turntable

After researching for quite some time, I settled on choosing the RT-82 as my first turntable. Super happy with my purchase! Fluance did a great job packaging the turntable for shipping. Set up was very straightforward. Listening to albums on this brings such a better experience over listening to music digitally. No regrets!

I can't speak highly enough of the RT82. I was skeptical about the benefits of upgrading from my older AT-LP60, but the difference in audio quality is night and day. Set-up was a breeze, with the entire process taking about fifteen minutes from opening the box to playing my first record. I can't recommend this highly enough!

Easy to set up, great cables, turntable feet, level, lid, etc. Looks beautiful, sounds great. Couldn't be happier and I am super appreciative that the R82 has the same foundation as the R83-R85 and that the loss of the phono amp brings the price of the R82 down to reach. Very considerate in-between model.

The instructions to set everything up was very detailed. Quality and sound is amazing. I am very happy with my purchase of the RT82.

Wow! I started with purchasing two RT81s for my Daughters. I liked the look and description. When they arrived I was amazed at the build quality and sound. In the market for a new TT I opted for the RT82 for it "upgradability" It is amazing. The plinth is solid and the components are high end. It sounds amazing. The attention to detail is something found on turntables costing hundreds more.

I am very new to the audiophile experience but I will say I am extremely happy with my purchase. Fluance was suggested to my by my brother who said that this Canadian company has continually beat competition with their product. Their turntables are easy to upgrade, they look beautiful and sound amazing. My turntable was packaged perfectly and came in pristine shape. The system was easy to install and if you get stuck along the way the website has a link to their YouTube video to help you out. I’ll recommend this brand for years to come.

One of the Best ! Great Build, easy to set up, and Fast shipping ! The Sound of Vinyl is SUPER !

Beautiful turntable. Have received compliments on its appearance. Easy to step up and sounds great. I look forward to the upgrade path and diving deeper down the rabbit hole of the vinyl listening experience. Highly recommend.

Great value, but wish they had a cartridgeless option though. Installed my own and am quite happy with the outcome

The turntable performs well. I really like having the option for upgrading stylus in the future as well. The warm walnut style complements my decor too.

Finally able to play my albums. They sound great

Bought as a Christmas gift for my fiancé. It shipped right on time, safe packaging. Once he opened I was so excited that it looks even better than in the photos. Very easy set up, now we are looking to update our speakers to test it out!
