I bought my RT82 as a TT for my second system in my family room. After using it, I may try a A/B comparison against my Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO in my main system. I'm very impressed so far.

I purchased the RT82 to install it into an antique Victrola console i restored. Unfortunately, this will be given as a gift to by father. I say unfortunately because in my testing of all the components, I really enjoyed everything about the RT82. It looks amazing, sounds great, it just really delivered on my hopes. And setup was a breeze!
If there was one "improvement", would love an auto return on the arm, as part of the auto-off function, where the arm would return to its cradle after finishing the record. But that is a minor wish when I consider what the RT82 delivers on.
Would recommend this turntable to anyone will to spend a little bit more than an entry level turntable (but nowhere close to the expensive higher-level audiophile options). This can deliver great sound with a great look, and at a reasonable price.

Fantastic product, great quality and value. I’m beyond satisfied

First timer here and I think I make the right pick. Easy to setup, easy to use, sounds amazing. My ONE issue is the metal cap that covers the motor doesn't fit properly, if it's installed the motor doesn't spin. I just left it off for now and it works like a charm (haven't had time to call in yet)

I bought this as a gift after researching the best record players on the market. One year later still extremely happy with the purchase.

The perfection for the price!!!

Love that turntable! The only thing I would do different is that I would buy the RT 84 or 85, because of the Ortofon 2M Blue. It costs a bit more to upgrade after and then it needs adjusting. Not a big deal so.

Besides loving the turntable, I am also amazed with the fantastic service I got from Julie. I had the occasional buzzing sound showing up. She helped me trying to figure out what it is. I narrowed it down to the RCA cable and she promptly send me a replacement. It's rare these days to get such great service.

Thank you Fluance for great products and service!!!

Recommended for those that are beginners to vinyl, or someone that has been doing it for a long time. Great value and quality.

Once I discover it needed a amplifier it was easy, my speakers had a amplifier in them but are not strong enough to give sound to deck, i bought the amplifier from Amazon it was only 17.99 and very small, now set up it has a great sound, stereo was easy to set up.

my favourite turntable now

Although I’ve been very into achieving great sound quality, I’ve only recently been getting into the world of vinyl. I had always used simple, cheap turntables where you move the needle and go. This one comes with excellent instructions on how to adjust the counter weight, make sure the table is level and a lot of other information on how to achieve the best sound. My albums have never sounded better and I recommend this turntable for anyone else who wants superb audio quality without completely breaking the bank.

I wanted to love the RT 82, but I have since returned the unit. The good—quality build, easy setup, nice visual presentation. The bad—-the Ortofon OM 10 is just not a very good cartridge and Fluance needs to up their game on this choice. The deal breaker was the auto stop feature. Sometimes it worked and other times not. When it did work, I felt like it took too long to function. The manual states that it may take 30 seconds or longer to activate and that’s too long IMO. I probably would have been much happier with a semi-automatic which Fluance did not offer.

I am shocked and appalled at how loud and terrible the motor is. Out of the box there was an issue with this turntable. A very audible and loud noise came from the motor, and the speed is all over the place. I will be returning this turntable, and buying another brand. I should have not gambled and listened to the other review honestly.

OUTSTANDING deck. Stunning finish, "weight" , build. Does everything I want it to, no more, no less. And does it elegantly. Sound is fantastic out-of-box, and getting progressively better throughout break-in period. Can't believe they pack so much performance / style into this price point. LOVE. Looking forward to exploring more of the Fluance product line.

Amazing product! After doing some extensive research, I decided the RT82 is the perfect first turntable for me. Not only is this turntable a beauty, but the quality is amazing. I've been enjoying each record I play on this. I've had one tiny defect but Julie from customer service helped me out with my issue. Customer service is one of the best I've ever seen. Glad I chose Fluance and I know I'll be sticking around for a long time because of their A+ customer service. Thank you Fluance for the quality product and thank you Julie for all the help!
