Elegant and great sounding turntable. Easy to set up and use. Highly recommended!!!

Great table! With the RT-85 in one room and my trusty RT-81 in another room, I'm very happy throughout the house. Thanks Fluance!

set up was a breeze and it sounds terrific with the Ortofon 2m blue cartridge , the acrylic platter looks great against the walnut finish on the plinth , This turntable is amazing for the price I only wish I would have bought it sooner

Beautiful crafting, supierier design and spectacular audio

I am very happy I purchased the RT85. I recently upgraded my stereo system for a better sound experience and wanted to add listening to the awesome vinyl audiophile jazz records that are coming out. I wanted a record player that was going to deliver a great sound but not break the bank. I feel The RT85 nailed it. I am listening to a Lee Morgan record right now as I write this review and I am completely satisfied. Thank you Fluance.

Went from a audio technica lp 120 to rt 85 .
Even though the initial difference wasn’t like day and night as I was expecting ,rt 85 sounded better and continues to improve in sound quality as I kept listening to my favorite records .The best part of rt 85 for me is in the way this turn table looks and the included ortifon blue cartridge .

Great produst. Could not be happier. Was very impressed how quickly I was notified about turntable back in stock. Great communication and service throughout. Super fast delivery.

Love it this far.

Took awhile to get the Tonearm weight and anti-skating set correctly, but once done, it sounded great. Heard a little noise from the belt when starting up, but that goes away pretty quickly, Then, Silence. Haven't had time to play it much yet, but it handled the old Shure test record well and the music sounded great.

So, I'm jumping in vinyl for the first time since the mid 80s. Why? Because as I understand good vinyl on a good turntable in a good system can sound good. Also I love the fuss & physicality of it.
Why the RT-85? I wanted an out of the box turn table that hit all the performance marks for a turntable at it's price point. It was well reviewed, and seemed like a good place to buy.
What did I get? An out of the box, easy to set up, stylish turntable. I was playing my first album in 30mins. (took me as long to run the audio cables as it took to set up the table.) The hardest part was balancing the tone arm.
What do I like? To my ears it sounds great. The fit and finish are splendid. The auto stop works fine.
What do I not like? Nothing, though I think I'd like 4 feet. (three works fine though.
Overall, I am very pleased.

Nothing can beat it in terms of price, the quality is excellent and the wood grain is beautiful would definitely recommend.

I’ve lived with the RT85 for almost 7 months now and I don’t have anything bad to say about it. Like many others my RT85 is an upgrade from the AT-LP120 technics wannabe TT. There’s no comparison. The RT85 is built like a tank! Setup was a breeze. Super quiet operation. The ortofon 2m Blue sounds better and better after each spin. It’s true what they say about a good 30 hour break-in on that stylus to really bring out the magic in it. The cartridge was perfectly aligned when I received it. I’ve noticed that records that had a lot of sibilance on my old TT sound great on the RT85. No inner groove distortion or any issues that I had before. The ortofon is really kind to my noisy records as well. Seems like I don’t hear as many pops and clicks on my more “used” records. The sound is amazing. I can’t really put it into words you just have to hear it for yourself. I’m using a Bellari tube preamp into Klipsch R-51pm powered monitors with a Polk 10” sub. Couldn’t be happier with my setup. If you’re thinking about purchasing one of these, go ahead and do it! You won’t be disappointed!

Got this turntable about two month ago and absolutely love it! The sound and performance of the Ortofon 2m cartridge is a highlight, while the overall build of the product is excellent. I highly recommend this product!

Needed to replace my 30 year-old Fisher rack system turntable. Along the way, my budget kept increasing...and I'm glad it did! I went with the RT-85. The professional reviewers are right, the quality of this turntable is usually found in a product twice this price. The sound is superb - every instrument is crisp and I have come to realize how special vinyl can sound. Don't regret this purchase at all.

Looks great. Sounds great. Should sound even better after some use on the Blue cartridge.
