Product Review (submitted on December 23, 2020):

At the prompting of my 17-year-old daughter (who's a singer and into music), I was in the market for a turntable. I wasn't sure how much I'd have to spend to get a relatively high performing turntable ($500? $1,000?) and was pleasantly surprised to read the reviews of the RT-85, which came with the very solid Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge. The RT-85/2M Blue sounds great with my Conrad Johnson / Thiel gear. While you can seemingly spend as much as you want for a TT, the RT-85 sounds great at what I consider to be a very reasonable price. My old albums sound great; I'm shocked how good they sound and how engaging the sound is compared to digital sources. Highly recommended.
