Loud Static discharge 1 people found this helpfulI was excited to receive the turntable but that changed to disappointment as soon I set it up and played my first album. The turntable produced random loud static noise through my stereo system. I setup the table as per instructions and even tried a completely different stereo system but these loud static discharges continued. I worked with customer service with no resolution so I have now returned the turntable.

Skips 2 people found this helpfulI'm surprised that this has such perfect reviews! I was disappointed that it was skipping. And I know how to set up a turntable correctly. Same with my other record player I bought from fluance. The R81. It costs $70 to mail to have problems fixed with their warranty. I might as well buy a new one. Sigh

Don't believe the hype 1 people found this helpfulI watched many positive reviews and saw that this was on many "Best Gear" lists so decided to try one. Shipping speed was good and all. I had issues with the turntable humming even with the ground wire properly hooked up to the amp. Secondly, I had issues getting the counter weight to thread correctly on the end of the tonearm and once on, found it nearly impossible to get it to track correctly after setting it to the 1.8 grams of force and the anti-skate to 1.8 (as best as I could see because the markings are minuscule). During install the belt slipped off the acrylic platter and that in itself was a struggle to get back on.Aside from hum, the whole mdf plinth acts like a microphone and you could talk next to it and hear slightly through the speakers...In the end, I prefer the AT-LP140 over this and in my mind it is a better turntable sans the Ortofon 2m Blue.Any how, I am no noob to audio gear but this experience was frustrating. I am not sure where all these fivestar reviews are coming from...

Fluance RT85 Review 1 people found this helpfulI purchased a RT85, unfortunately the Dust Cover was broken in 2 Places, and the Right channel didn't work.I've got to say; 'Fluance Audio' was very good about returning and refunding my money.This review is about the product though, NOT the company I purchased from.I liked the three point rubber foot mount, it makes leveling very easy.The Ortofon Blue is an awesome cartridge ($220 value easily).The Acrylic Platter was nice (Looked Cool), but I'm not convinced they add to, or subtract from, the sound quality (about a $120 value though).Do you consider MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) as real 'Solid Wood'.?.? (IMO: No) - It does, however, get treated with your choice of wood veneer, or Painted Black.Not much to say about the motor; yep, it spun the record...Very, Very disappointed in the Tone-Arm; - Threading the cartridge to the tone-arm was rough, like the threads were very poor quality. I had to move the Cartridge around until the threads finely lined up. - The tone-arm plastic Locking mechanism didn't lock the arm down, The tone-arm could still move around. - The Cueing mechanism in the UP position, IMO, did not raise the cartridge nearly high enough. - Dark Lettering on the Black Weight balance; maybe it's my eyes getting old, but I couldn't see the numbers.I am VERY surprised at the number of 5 star reviews on this turntable.I feel lucky mine didn't work and I got my money back.I tried to be honest and fair;I sincerely hope if you purchase one of the RT versions that YOU ARE HAPPY because that's what matters most.Unfortunately, sorry, but I just wasn't impressed at all.
