RT82 Reference High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable

Product Review (submitted on March 14, 2020):

I received my RT82 about two weeks ago and am loving it! Am new to the world of vinyl (or at least, haven't really listened to records since childhood). My buddy gave me a suitcase turntable and it got me hooked and I decided to upgrade.

A few months ago, I bought a vintage Pioneer SX-737 receiver and wanted a quality turnable to match. Look no further than the Fluance RT82 with a walnut finish. I am very much a rookie, but Fluance made the setup of this player a breeze and it feels right at home next to my classic receiver. Sounds great, no complaints. With the exception of possible upgrades in the future, such as platter and cartridge (but sounds dynamite as is!), I plan for this to be my turntable for years and years to come.

There are a lot of quality turntables out there in this range, and this is absolutely one of them. Plus, it offers me enough features to make it easy for a novice like me, but not too many to where it feels like I'm disconnected from the "analog experience". This hits a real sweet spot, in my opinion. Plus, there is an upgrade path if I so choose!

Thank you for a quality product, both inside and out!
