The Rt85 was everything I wanted and more. I absolutely love it. If you’re looking for a quality turntable look no further.

Great features for the price. Very glad to to own!

Great packaging. Good directions. Easy set-up. Beautiful bamboo. Love the performance. I am hearing more of my music. Thank You

This table is wonderfully built. The setup was straight forward. Balancing the tone arm and leveling the table was easily done. The table has a wonderful sound. The amount of upgrades are well worth the initial purchase price.

The only con I have is the provided RCA Red/White cables were defected and made a horrible signal artifact. When I reached out the customer service they asked for way to much proof to replace the cables. Someone who pays $500 for a table is trying to scam $20 cables. I pitched better cables off Amazon and now this setup is everything I dreamed it was.

very happy,great!!!!!

For the price point, you're going to be hard pressed to beat it. Maybe the music hall could rival but not in terms of the cartridge. The only real area of criticism would related to the tonearm, of which i've had zero issues. In fact, I would argue any discrepancy in build quality of the tonearm is more than negated by the cartridge. So while it may be nice to see a little more refinement in that area, to match the rest of the features the TT offers, it really is a great package. 3 feet leveling system is the way to go, couldnt have been easier to get leveled. Would like to see the weight stabilizer included with the table, honestly think the difference it made to my overall sound would qualify it as an essential accessory. But really I couldn't be happier with this turntable, so glad I went with the RT85.

Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Loving my new RT-85 and Signature Hi-Fi speakers.

I stumbled on Fluance products through an online ad, shocking, I know. But then I dove in and researched the product line because I was in the market for a new vinyl set up. Turns out the brand is well designed, the pieces are not only beautiful but sturdy and most important: THEY SOUND GREAT! The Piano White RT85 Reference turntable with acrylic platter, Ortofon cartridge and matching bookshelf speakers with a 10" sub woofer and my listening room just took a huge step up, all for less than $1k - Amazing value.
Like many, I've had a cobbled together vinyl set up for ages and have endured it out of habit. I finally treated myself to an upgrade and I couldn't be more pleased with everything: from the packaging to the white glove set up and the highest quality components. I love my new audio set up and I now love this company. I look forward to many years of listening enjoyment and can't wait to try some of the other products. WELL DONE FLUANCE! *****

Set up instructions are a bit wonky so be thorough reading them before you get started. Nice turntable though, no complaints on performance.

Having owned the RT-85 for over a year now I thought it was time to finally do this review. Our RT-85 gets used four or five times a week for at least a couple of hours each use.

The Piano Black finish is what we dislike the most about the RT-85. It's not durable at all. Meaning, when you clear a record off and all the debris falls on the plinth, you have to do something to clean that debris off every once in a while. You can't use a soft swiffer or even use the softest micro fiber cloth on the RT-85 plinth because you will scratch the finish! For this reason the only thing you can safely use to clear off the plinth is a can of compressed air. The finish is so easily scratched we actually have couple scratches around the speed selector and have no clue how they even got there, had to be from just turning it on and off. So the slightest touch can actually scratch the piano black finish. We can't use the white gloves every time we play records! Thought those were just for the setup. Anyhow, if we had it to do all over again we certainly would never have chose the piano black.

The cue lever feels extremely cheap, this is my only other complaint about the RT-85. But I need to remember the extreme value of this turntable purchase, the Ortofon Blue is a $236 cartridge and the acrylic platter is a $120 upgrade. So in reality the RT-85 is a $143 turntable that comes with $356 worth of upgrades. When I remember this, I suppose the cheap feeling cue lever is not really something to complain about.

My 2 star deduction is solely based on what I feel is a very poor durability finish. We take pride in our HI-FI gear around here and want to keep our gear looking beautiful for as long as possible. With the RT-85's Piano Black finish and our regular use, I don't believe that will be possible. I'm considering disassembling the turntable and taking it somewhere to have it professionally vinyl wrapped. I can't think of any other solution to cover the poor durability finish.

IMO, the best turntable for the price, probably even a higher price point. Great sound, no noise, and the 2m Blue is a nice plus. Easy to set up, the only trouble I ran into was getting the pulley cover on right, but no big deal.

Awesome turntable, quality throughout, easy to set up and sounds fantastic. I would highly recommend this to a friend.

Excellent build quality and sound.

This was my first real turntable purchase and I couldn't be happier with it! I had an older all-in-one setup handed down to me previously, but the sound wasn't great and it has seen better days, so I thought it was time for an upgrade. The unit is sturdy, it looks great in our space and it sounds super clean with my setup.

The shipping was fast and the setup process was all pretty easy, especially for someone who hasn't set up a turntable from scratch before. I was a little confused when setting the counterweight and anti-skate settings, but one of the videos on Fluance's support page cleared that up.

It was a very attractive price for Japanese users. And the performance is also wonderful.
