The RT-83 has a very solid, substantial feel, and looks great with the highly polished walnut veneer finish. Fluance even includes a pair of white gloves in the box to keep fingerprints off of the finish during setup.

Setup was a breeze following the well written and easily understood instructions in the user manual. The music from the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge sounds very good.

I am very pleased with the Fluance RT-83 turntable.

After doing extensive research on a new turntable for around the $500 mark, I decided on the RT83 and I made the best decision possible. Elegant design and superior sound quality brings my vinyl collection to life like never before. Amazing turntable Fluance!

I got the rt83 figuring i could always upgrade it latter on. It the first turn table i have owned in years. It is very nice and would recommend to anyone. I looked at several other brands trying to decide but always came back to fluance because it had all the features i wanted.

Shipping was very quick & packaged very well!! The setup was a breeze and it sounds amazing!!! Very satisfied with the Quality & Price!!!...I can now retire my 1980 JVC Turntable!

I absolutely love this turntable! I watched several videos and read the feedback reviews and took the plunge and couldn't be more satusfied! It's everything I had read that it is and for the money, nothing comes close! I was apprehensive of buying a turntable mail order but when it arrived my concerns were put to rest! Packaged very well and set up instructions are very good! Playback performance is wonderful! Great turntable!!

Great quality!

I purchased my RT-83 about 6 months ago, and I've had a chance to evaluate it thoroughly. I wrote a review of this turntable shortly after it arrived. I am still amazed by how quiet this turntable sounds when idling. I've used the Ortofon 2M, and it is a very good cartridge. I've also had a chance to mount my Shure V15-IV cartridge. It tracks very well with the RT-83 tonearm.

So far, I have no complaints or regrets. Great job Fluance!

A beautiful turntable that has gotten me back into playing vinyl. The speed is consistent throughout every vinyl I play. Convenient to change headshells/cartridges. Amazing overall quality at a great price!

The product was excellent, although I wish they have put an option with a built in preamp. I would have chosen the rt 81 with that feature, but I also like the upgraded feature and upgrade path (I can't get an acrylic platter with the rt 81?, or i would need a different counter weight if i would go with a ortofon cartridge?) of the reference line series turntables.

Great company. Updated me to the exact time they’d deliver it. Product was great. Would shop here again

I’ve had the RT83 for about a month and I absolutely love this turntable. Easy to set up and I’ve been impressed with the sound quality, it has brought some older albums back to life for sure. The overall value based on other turntables in the price range is outstanding. The cartridge and motor are what you’d expect from more expensive turntables and the wood plinth looks great!

I am really glad that I could afford to buy this turntable. It is not a very affordable one and when I finally had the money to buy it, I had to wait because it was out of stock. But it was worth the wait!!!
I like its nice vintage design and the sound quality too. It's a very smooth turntable, well-balanced and noiseless.

So far a brilliant turntable. Sound is clear and build quality feels solid. All my records have worked with the auto stop function. The tinted cover looks great. I chose the gloss black so it does attract fingerprints and dust, but that is to be expected. If I had to complain about one thing it would be the feet. They are nice and adjustable, but I found that due to the spring mechanism it is a little wobbly/unstable. This is only an issue if you bump the table or close the cover too hard as this can cause the arm to jump and the record to skip. Not a major issue, just be gentle.
Well worth the money. I plan to upgrade the platter to acrylic when it is available.

Great turntable! Perfect balance of great sound, features, and aesthetics. Love that I can upgrade it in the future easily, but don't have any need to as is!
