Product Review (submitted on November 12, 2021):

I didn't need to go to the expense of a direct drive DJ, super heavy-weight turntable as I was using it in the home. I researched the options of other turntables. This, the piano black, top of the range, Fluance looks beautiful and sound delicious. The attractions included the fact the the turntable stops once reaching the end of the LP, after a short interlude, an essential requirement, as often, I've fallen asleep when the music has washed over me. The lever for raising the arm and the hydraulic lowering so that the stylus hits the record softly is a plus and, as I get older will protect the collection. The turntable sits on three adjustable and dampening feet. You are provided with a bubble level to set the table. The cartridge comes assembled and the rest it easy to set up, to start enjoying your music. The acrylic plater looks novel and terrific. The lid is damped so it raises and lowers smoothly. All for £500, and you have an Orfoton 2M Blue cartridge, which would cost, currently, £189.00. I love it, married to my Cambridge amp and speakers, it's gorgeous, and, I'm enjoying my old LP's over again, and buying new.
