The Fluance RT83 turntable is absolutely amazing. Everything from the unique S shaped tonearm to the aggressive anti skating feature. Don't forget the isolation feet which absorb any vibrations interfering with the play of the music. The most important feature is the Ortofon 2M Red stylus cartridge also interchangeable with the 2M Blue stylus cartridge. The sound that pours out of your speakers is heavenly. The only minus that I got from the turntable is that the platter was a little flimsy but not a deal breaker.

I'm hearing things I've never heard before from songs I've been losing to for years. I've owned other turntables before. This one takes the cake so far. I switched out the head shell with a generic needle and that even sounded great. The Ortofon Red is a great needle but you may need to turn the bass up a bit. The Treble is perfect but the low end seems to not be there. The gloves and bubble level are a great touch. THIS IS HOW MUSIC SHOULD BE TREATED!

Can't stop playing it
Sounds just awesome

I finally have a turntable that can let me play my vinyl Loud. My old Micro Seiko was great but the Fluance RT83 and acrylic platter shine. I bought two head shells so I can A-B my other cartridges. A AT530em and a Grado gold all thru a Marantz 2252 and four JBL L100T's. My 71 year old ears are happy. Vinyl is king and Fluance has crowned it.

Been away from vinyl for 22 years after leaving the UK, wanted back in, got the RT83W and set her up and haven't stop listening since, great clarity and excellent build quality, a player with excellent components that out performs its price well done Fluance

Fast delivery from Fluance: living in Toronto, I received my RT83 within a week. So far, this is a really good product (which I upgraded from an old LP60), easy to assemble. Just struggled with adjusting the feet (4 stars for that) but the turntable was already pretty much levelled so not a big deal at the end. The auto stop function is a nice option!

Build quality is great at this price point, The Walnut glossy finish is very classy looking. I added an acrylic mat to replace the rubber one included. Arm seems very light but there are no issues. Speed is accurate. Worth the price.

This is my wife’s first turn table. We set it up with my Emotiva TA1 integrated amp. I’m using the CSS Torri speakers that I built. The sound is good, but I think I need a better phono pre amp than the one in my amp. I’m going to try a Ifi Zen and see what that does. The quality, packaging, and shipping were great.

Better than expected.

went from a 30+ year old Sony to this. works and sounds great. time to clean up some old vinyl and add more new ones.

This is my first Fluance turnable and I couldn't be happier. Shipping was fast, it was easy to set up and sounds amazing.

I'm really happy with the sound and build quality of this TT! It's absolutely beautiful and plays my albums really precisely, no dragging or skipping. Just follow the directions on how to set the tone arm pressure. I used a scale to set mine and it matched the weights on the unit perfectly.Just note, that if you're looking for an automatic TT, this isn't it. It's fully manual, other than stopping at the end of the album.

This is my very first turntable. I went with with RT83 model in Bamboo and am very pleased with the Ortofon 2M red as my first phono cartridge. I can't give any comparison as this is my first experience, however this turntable has me hooked. I also like that you can piece by piece upgrade the turntable to match the top model and beyond. Great start to a wonderful hobby.

Excellent sound and channel separation. Brings my old records to life again.

I'm REALLY happy with this turntable, the setup was easy and the aesthetics are beautiful.The finish is quality, the feet are adjustable and isolate well.I purchased a tonearm pressure gauge to set the tonearm weight, wanting to make sure everything was correct. I followed Fluance's instructions on how to set the tonearm and then checked it with the gauge, almost perfect! The adjustments are very precise.I've owned several vintage audiophile TTs over the years, and after my last one needed to be repaired, I decided to try a brand new one, this one was the right choice for me!Note: if your amplifier does not have a phono input, you'll need to purchase a separate phono preamp. This turntable doesn't have an onboard preamp. It won't work in an aux, tape, or CD input without an external preamp.It's also a completely manual unit, no auto start, or return.
