Product Review (submitted on March 27, 2021):
Back into vinyl. The new 180 gram are for the most part excellent. Needed an upgrade from my old Technics TT. Looked at all the reviews, online consults with dealers, and vids. Came down to this marvelous TT. My system is a respectable one, no mega buck Audiophile quality. I didn’t want to spend a mint on a new TT with my other components being from the 90’s. I also purchased the Fluance phono preamp replacing a NAD unit. So far, and I’ve only done about 10 hours of listening, I am very pleased with my choice. So now the main components of my system are Canadian except for the CD player made in Belgium and speakers B&W England. Wow, enchantment is how I would describe my listening experience. Hearing things from old recordings I never heard before. I really don’t think it gets any better than this without jumping into the audiophile rabbit hole. Some of my 1st plays included, Beatles Sgt. Pepper’s, Ella and Louis (with my attached video), and Joni Mitchell, Blue. Initially, I was listening for details and sound quality, then finally to just hearing the music. I cannot give a better compliment to the RT85W than that. I will update as I explore more of the music.
