Over the past year I read as many turntable reviews as I could find. I found Fluance was almost always noted as a contender in my price range. I was considering the RT83, but when they added the the Ortofon Blue cartridge to the RT84 I was convinced to get that model.

Delivery was quick. I was a little bit concerned about setting it up, but there's a great YouTube video and it actually came together easily. The little levelling tool is great.

So it's well reviewed, came quickly, and was easy to assemble. Now, it looks great and sounds lovely. I had a vintage Toshiba direct drive, and this really does sound noticeably richer. I'm very happy with this purchase.

This is a beautiful looking and wonderful sounding turntable. I've upgraded from an older vintage Sony model. The Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge reveals unheard details in comparison with the cartridge used on my old Sony. The RT-84 is also much more aesthetically pleasing.

Setup took about 30 minutes from opening the box to playing records. Everything was well packaged.

A couple of minor gripes. Due to the high gloss, there are micro scratches in the finish and the dust cover. They're only visible when looking close up in the right lighting. Also, the hinges are a bit creaky, but hopefully they break-in over time.

Otherwise this is a great unit, especially for the price.

I recently set up my RT-84 and am super happy. It's gorgeous and sounds great. It's exactly what I was expecting based on its online representation and I'm glad I took the leap.

This turntable was very straight forward to set up and is an absolute joy to listen to. The Ortofon Blue cartridge makes a night and day difference over the cartridge on my previous turntable.

I was not familiar with Fluance products until I began researching turntables. A small group of manufacturers, including Fluance, consistently received favorable ratings in online reviews for products in my price range. The RT83 met my needs in a stylish package and included the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge at a reasonable price.

THEN, on the day I planned to order it, Fluance put their RT84 ON SALE! I bit. For a modest increase I upgraded to the 2M Blue. (If the 2M Red were a hot fudge sundae, the Blue would be the same, but with nuts and a cherry on top.)

My RT84 arrived well packaged and in prefect condition. Setup was straightforward. I paired it with a phono preamp found on Craigs List, an Adcom preamp & amp, and Monitor Audio bookshelf speakers.

First Music was Carly Simon's Torch followed by Willie Nelson's Stardust. They never sounded so good. At some point I stopped listening analytically and simply immersed myself in the moment. The Fluance RT84 just became transparent and got out of the way of the music. Then came the big test – Horowitz in Moscow. I believe a piano is likely the hardest instrument to accurately record and play back. This is where the RT84 won me over. The sound stage grew noticeably, and closing my eyes, I could almost believe there was a Steinway Grand in the room with me.

Highly recommended.

NOTE I ordered the walnut finish as I felt that fingerprints on the gloss black might become an issue. However, the walnut is every bit as glossy (and fingerprinty) so don't let that be a deciding factor. Use the white gloves provided by Fluance for assembly.

This is my first hi-fi turntable and I could not be happier with it.

I have been reviewing many different types of turntable for the past several months in order to get into the world of vinyl and continually came back to Fluance products. All the reviews I read and watched on you tube spoke of it’s high quality and affordable price point for the beginner like myself to the seasons listener. This turntable will get you into vinyl with many years of listening without having to worry about trading up. The website is very user friendly and you can compare their products to find the best turntable for you. I purchased the RT 84 turntable as well as the signature series HiFi two-way bookshelf surround sound speakers. Both are truly amazing in sound and in appearance. The sound quality is comparable to my Bose system. I decided to call a representative from Fluance to ask a few question and to place my order and she was very professional and took the time to answer my questions with no up sales. Overall I am very happy with my decision to purchase Fluance products and will return to purchase more of their products.

I started out with an AT LP120 USB. It was a great initial turntable for me, allowing me to upgrade the stylus and preamp while learning more about record players and vinyl.
I began looking into other ways to upgrade, but finally decided to sell my LP 120 and get a new turntable. I did a fair amount of research on the U-Turn Orbit, Rega Planar Series, and Pro-Ject Debut Carbon. I decided to go with Fluance RT84 because of all the great reviews that I saw and read. It was very hard for me to even find anything really negative.
Features of the RT84 that I like:
2M Blue stylus! No discernible motor noise compared to the LP120, Very stable, Adjustable feet to balance plinth, Anti-skate works! Auto stop
Things I don't necessary like:
Can't adjust the VTA, Dust cover is scratched- not sure from what but if it was me, it scratched very easily because I've been really careful with it.
Overall, this thing is a great value- feels sturdy, sounds nice, looks awesome. Wish I just invested in a Fluance right off the bat.

Looks great sounds wonderful!

I absolutely love this turntable! The ortofon blue cartridge is a clear improvement over the ortofon red (also very good). Product is easy to set up. Bought the 84 without acrylic platter. Hard to believe there is a significant improvement.

Everything I wanted in a turntable! I replaced a Dual 701/Ortofon Super OM 10 with this and couldn't be more pleased. It is beautiful, easy to set up, and soundstage and clarity are vastly improved.

Love this turntable! Solid design all the way around. Excellent sound for this price range!

I was looking for a turntable upgrade and decided on the RT84. I was looking for a turntable with a detatchable headshell and height adjustable feet. The Ortofon Blue cartridge is a plus and the high quality wood veneer finish looks great. As for the sound, well, I think this turntable sounds fantastic. Quiet with a deep, wide soundstage. I definitely do not regret this purchase. I will eventually upgrade to the acrylic platter. Caught this on sale for $382.00 USD, but even at full retail, it's a steal. Highly recommended!

We recently decided to get our opera records out of storage and set up a sound system based on a Sonos Amp. We chose the Fluance RT84 because it offered a phenomenal value in design, finish and Ortofon 2 M Blue cartridge. Our records sound glorious! Also, Fluance’s technical support was very responsive

This R 84T was an amazing Christmas gift from my loving wife and family,now I just can’t stop playing vinyl. Would now love to try the acrylic platter to see if it makes this turntables sound even better.
