Product Review (submitted on December 12, 2020):

After weeks of reading reviews and opinions on turntables I was unsure if I should just upgrade my cartridge. So I ordered a new upgraded cartridge but it was on back order for way too long. So I decided to bite the bullet and purchase a new turntable as I was replacing a turntable I had bought new in 1979. I was going to purchase the RT82 but then changed my mind and went with the RT85 when looking at the price difference and cartridge. I have never spent this much on a turntable before so it was a big decision. I had to pre order as it was on order but not for long. I was notified on a Thursday it had arrived and was going to ship Friday. I was shocked when I received it on Saturday!!! I was just in the process of picking out the records I wanted to listen to first. Set-up was a breeze and all was going in maybe an hour or so. I first played my Supertramp Album / School and I have to say I got chills with the sound and clarity, I ended up spending most of the day in heaven!!! If I have any suggestions I would really sugges you have and use a good Zero Stat static gun, which I had. This turntable is amazing and I just can't believe how good my vinyl sounds. I was somewhat concerned at the start as I wasn't sure if my vinyl was in good enough condition to get the best out of it. I haven't come across one album that has disappointed me at all, and most of my vinyl was purchased in the 70's and are original pressings. If you can squeeze the money for this turntable I highly, highly recommend it for sure. COVID has now given me the time to enjoy my collection which if anything is a bit of light during this time.
