Product Review (submitted on November 21, 2020):

So, I'm jumping in vinyl for the first time since the mid 80s. Why? Because as I understand good vinyl on a good turntable in a good system can sound good. Also I love the fuss & physicality of it.
Why the RT-85? I wanted an out of the box turn table that hit all the performance marks for a turntable at it's price point. It was well reviewed, and seemed like a good place to buy.
What did I get? An out of the box, easy to set up, stylish turntable. I was playing my first album in 30mins. (took me as long to run the audio cables as it took to set up the table.) The hardest part was balancing the tone arm.
What do I like? To my ears it sounds great. The fit and finish are splendid. The auto stop works fine.
What do I not like? Nothing, though I think I'd like 4 feet. (three works fine though.
Overall, I am very pleased.
