Beautiful design, was easy to complete assembly (10 mins at most) and sounds wonderful.

highly recommended. good value for money

I may not have bought this if I know i was going to do all the hard labor of putting it together!

This is the best turntable I've ever used easy setup the sound is amazing

I bought this for my son. His review: the sound is so much richer than the older model that he had. He loves it! Thank you for the quick delivery. Much appreciated.

I really like this turntable. About a year ago, I bought a U-Turn Orbit turntable. At the time, I was really considering a Fluance RT-80. I am not sure why I went with the Orbit, But I wish I would have bought the Fluance turntable to begin with. Why? 1) I really like the auto stop feature. I fall asleep a lot listening to music. 2) I like the internal belt drive of the Fluance better. The outer belt of the orbit would just fall of sometimes. I would turn the unit on, and nothing would happen, Then, I would realize the belt had come off. At a comparison, I really like the Fluance better.

Records play smoothly! Upgraded from a Victrola to this Fluance turntable. Few struggles setting up and getting the counterweight working properly since I've never done that before. I would purchase a rubber mat for the vinyls since this set up comes with felt. Overall I highly recommend this over the cheaper Audio Technical turntables.

Good turntable for the price

Since first purchasing an RT80 it skips constantly the closer it gets to the center of the record. I have balanced, rebalanced and balanced again. I have tried the anti-skating set to "2" and all other settings without success. When the tonearm lever is used to lift the needle off the record a noticeable movement to the outside of the record is noted. I have tried multiple different cartridges, new and old records and verified the TT is level. Fluance "support" is laughable. I am outside of the return window other wise I would return this device. I strongly suggest you look elsewhere for a turntable as this has been nothing but problems since I purchased it.

I've been looking at turntables for almost a year and couldn't make up my mind until Randy (Cheap Audio Man) on YouTube gushed on the Fluance line of turntables. What ultimately sold him is exactly what sold me. The removable headshell that allows easy needle swapping. Setup was simple, and because the price was so low, I was able to add some accessories like an acrylic, low static platter to replace the felt matt and small, reasonably priced, tube based phono preamp. I busted out my records and went crazy the night I hooked it up. The sound was clean, crisp and fairly forgiving of old vinyl. In other words, perfect for anyone with an old vinyl collection who can't afford the outrageous costs of good analog gear. Avoid those Bluetooth, USB bargain bin record players. They'll ruin your vinyl. Fluance should be commended for expanding past their speakers to provide young and old people on a budget to experience vinyl audio the way it should be, with rich, clean sound and simplified upgrade flexibility. The Fluance RT80 does have its own built in phono preamp, if you choose to use it, connect it to an AUX input on your receiver. If your receiver has its own phono input, you can hook it up there, just make sure, regardless of which preamp you're using, that you connect the ground wire or you can permanently damage your receiver.

I bought this turntable on June 18, 2018 and it has been a great source of music and sound. It had worked wonderfully and it was easy to setup and I bought 2 Edifier speakers to go with it and have enjoyed the music and the turntable immensely. I did buy a rubber turntable mat separately just because people said it was better and everything is 100 % perfect. You put the needle on the record and when it comes to the end of the record the record will spin twice and the turntable shuts down till you lift the needle up to turn the record over, it does not have auto return but that does not bother me where it shuts down at the end of the record. The sound is good and the tracking is great. Works fantastic and you are getting a quality player at a good price. Would definitely by this project again. If when putting the record arm together you don't feel confident Fluance has step by step instructions on You Tube and I followed them just to make sure I did it right and work perfect. I have used this player 4 years and an excellent product, 5 stars.

I am an ex audiophile nutjob who was asked by his daughter recently to get her a turntable and good speakers...she was not prepared for my enthusiasm and just said to "buy her something good but cheap and not to explain any of my nerdy audio information...sigh!!! Anyway, I came upon this item on Amazon and did not hear or see a whiff of it mentioned on any audio review websites, but it said free returns and so I bought this record player. I also bought a Moukie Receiver (tiny) and Moukie speakers for $70 and $60 repectively. I did not have any high hopes. It sounds very decent. Everything about the table seems just good enough. It is very light (a negative for turntables and speakers). I spiked the table it was on and there was minimal to no vibrations issues (the speakers sit on the table as well and but I had them on after market dampening feet. It sounds good and my daughter thinks is sounds great so that is a five star product. You can of course get better equipment but not for what I paid. I consider this less than $400 system a steal for its sound quality!!!

Love it! Great record player! Loving playing some vinyl

Easy to use, great sound quality. The only drawback is the tonearm does not auto return to the resting position once the LP is done playing.
