Product Review (submitted on October 15, 2020):
This is the nicest turntable I've ever had the pleasure playing my vinyl collection on! The spring loaded adjustable feet are excellent at isolating the table. My turntable sits between 1200 watts of subs and is rock solid no interference from the subs at all with the dust cover closed while playing. The fit and finish on the Walnut wood is awesome. The blue stylus is superb in sound quality. You have definitely built a rock solid turntable with a beautiful finish that sings to my ears. The 3 pound acrylic platter is a very nice touch and no mat required to play an album. The smoked dust cover is a perfect match with the Walnut finish. I coupled the turntable with your preamp and a Schiit Loki and the sounds is excellent thru my Denon to my Klipsch speaker setup. I know the book calls for a 24 hr. burn in period for the unit so I let it burn in till the next evening. My vinyl collection consists of 1975 thru 1985 rock eara all original cut that i collected as a kid. (150 plus vinyl albums all VG+ quality)
I have been giving this table a work out every day for about 4 to 5 hrs. each day since I got it without 1 hiccup. I did order a spare belt since I don't exactly know how long they last at the rate I'm using this RT85. I checked all measurements and alignment at setup which appeared to be a waste of my time since everything was spot on from the factory. The only thing I had to tweak was the stylus weight by .15 grams to set it spot on at 1.80 grams. Not an issue since I have a stylus scale. I couldn't have asked for a better turntable, it has surpassed all my expectations in quality build and sound. I dought a person could find a better quality turntable at 3x the price.
Thank you Fluance for what you have produced in the RT85 turntable to bring out the kid in me while playing vinyl on your turntable master piece. You have set the bar very high for all turntables. Thanks again for what do!!!!
