This turntable is a piece of art in its looks, it’s function, tone and nuances. I’m so impressed with its sound, how solid it is and quality of the turntable. Setup was a breeze, customer service was awesome and I’m am more than satisfied with this purchase. I had an M2 Blue cartridge from another turntable. So i purchased a second head so I can easily swap between the two heads. This makes listening to the same record a new experience as I hear different nuances from each needle.

The product is a let down for me. I bought the rt83. I read over and over about the quality of the player. I was going to purchase an audio technica player, but I went with the rt83 to support a smaller NA company. The build quality is awesome. However the oroton 2m stylus is absolute rubbish. It picks up all surface noise. I washed my records and I used a carbon fiber brush before each play and there is still a lot of pops and static. I have the tracking and anti skid at the recommended settings per fluance. The turn table is balanced as well. I wrote support a week ago and I haven't heard anything back. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt due to the holidays. I have an audio technica lp60 and I have zero issues with noise and extreme popping on my records.

I'd seen several friends move to Fluance decks, and I needed a replacement deck. I chose the RT83 as a nice middle ground and opted for the white finish, even though the Fluance site noted an approximate six week lead time at that point. Much to my surprise, I received a shipping notice within a week!
The unit looks good, sounds great, and has seen lots of use in the six months that it's been in the house. The RT83 hasn't skipped a beat in that time.
I might change to a cork mat or an acrylic platter at some point, but the unit performs wonderfully as-is. Do yourself a favor and get one for your setup!

So glad that I picked this one, the sound is great!!

I had a nice DJ table, but wanted something that would stop on it's own, as I tend to wander off and forget. This looks SOOO much nicer, and was very easy to set up and balance. I don't have it into a high end component system, but I can still hear the difference, including that the records actually sound cleaner now. And yes, the stop works very well!

It took a little extra time to balance the tone arm, but once I got the hang of it then everything is fine. The turntable is has a reasonable price. The sound does not match the performance of my Music Hall, but it is half the price. So no complaints.

First turntable in decades, very happy with the sound and build quality.

Great turntable for the money. Good quality and a very thoughtful build. Couldn’t be happier. Thank you Fluance.

I bought my first "stereo" in the 1970s. I didn't have the money to buy anything worthwhile. I always heard pops and static. I thought that was the way LPs sounded after many uses. In the 1980s I bought CDs and thought this was the way of the future. So clean but missing the top and bottom end.

I decided to come back to vinyl and did a fair amount of research on turntables and listen to what users where saying for this price point. All seem to point to Fluance. As someone who is not prepared to invest into a hobby that can be expensive, I was hesitant to purchase a good turntable.

The reviews were spot on! My old LPs are playable. I thought they were ruined. With proper cleaning, I have been able to enjoy music as it were the first time. I will upgrade to the next the Frosted Acrylic Platter soon.

My soul has never been happier.

Product came very well packaged with a very well-written manual to get things set up. Had a bit of trouble balancing the tone arm but it was operator error due to inexperience. Video's on youtube helped out. Love the new piano white color and the sound is fantastic. I'm all about getting value for my money, and Fluance tables are impossible to beat for the money!

Awesome turntable that is budget friendly but is a high end piece of equipment.

Clear, powerful sound. Stylish look.

All was great, but anti-scaring would not set.

Brent from customer service quickly, and competently resolve my issue. One of my best customer service experiences ever.

Great sound! I love the easy setup, cool stance, great looks.

Great clarity an easy to setup.
