  • Sounds great, great price, and auto-stop! Update 2/10/17, 3/24/17, 4/3/2017, 5/8/2017
Color: Walnut
Ooooo, nice turntable. I replaced my Sony direct drive TT (circa 1978) with this, bought new speakers, and started listening to my collection of LP's. Beautiful and simple turntable. Easy to set-up. I needed to increase the tracking force from 2.0 to about 2.2 to avoid skips on some of my older albums, but that was well within the range for the cartridge (1.5 to 2.5). The hook for me was the auto-stop and the price. I really wanted a semi-automatic TT, but this was the next best thing for the $. This TT is great for the cost. And, yes you CAN make MP3 files with this TT. You will need to buy an adapter cable from phono to 3.5mm jack & download some free software, Google it. I'm using a preamp Technolink TC-756USB RIAA Moving Magnet Phono Preamp with AUX Input and USB (Computer) Output and use it to rip the analog to digital. This preamp can also be used to input computer sound files through to an amp. Update 2/10/2017: I encountered a huge WOW. I thought I would be contacting Fluance & returning the TT for repair, BUT, I let the TT run with the arm up for a couple of hours to see what would happen. The WOW went away, and has yet to return. I'll keep an ear on this. I'm glad there's a two year warranty. The auto stop works well. Takes about 11 rotations before it kicks-in. I wish it also picked-up the arm as well, but it is as advertised. I have encountered a lot of skipping on some of my old LP's. I think this is more a function of the cartridge than the turntable. My old DD TT (Sony PS-X20, 1978) did not skip on these same records. I'll look at the cartridge on that machine and see what I have....the old TT is in the basement in a box....I was going to sell it, but now I think I found some parts from EBAY and I might be able to repair the arm lifter. Update 3/24/2017: Noticed wow on a digital recording I made from this turntable BUT upon close inspection discovered that the LP had grooves that were off-center. The tone arm was weaving back and forth as it tracked. Just a heads-up to check the media as a potential source of wow, and not just assume that the turntable is at fault. Update 4/3/2017: The OEM AT95E stylus was at fault for skips. Fluance responded by sending me a new AT95E cartridge, and I swapped out the stylus. The same passages that had been skipping now played through. I blame AT for this, and not Fluance. Fluance was very responsive sending a replacement (no charge). Update 5/8/2017: Upgraded cartridge to Audio-Technica AT120EB. Works well. No issue with install or balancing. Used a spare cartridge shell, so now I have a quick way to drop in a spare. ... show more

  • Affordable audiophile turntable
Color: Piano White
Model reviewed: Fluance RT81 Summary: after first trying one of those "suitcase" players - this turntable sounds absolutely brilliant. Key points: • Some assembly required, but the instructions are simple and clear. • Balancing the tonearm is straightforward and inspires confidence that your vinyl is protected. • There are built-in pre-amp outputs AND traditional phono-outs. When using pre-amp, you don't need to connect the "ground" to anything. • It's heavy and solid, feels super well-built. All the controls feel high quality. • Auto-stop feature works well. • Minimalist aesthetic looks great. • Canadian company, made in Taiwan. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. The pre-outs work great with my Sonos Port to add a turntable to my full-house system, and the sound quality is amazing. The first time I heard it play, I became a believer in vinyl. It sounds warmer overall, and the highs just sound somehow more natural than digital streaming. Not to mention it's fun and nostalgic to drop the needle old-school style on your favorite records. The minimalist style looks great and it's very simple to use after a short setup process. I'm no audiophile (yet), but I did a lot of research to make a purchase that wouldn't break the bank and wouldn't be a weakness in some future hypothetical audiophile system. This stylus cartridge is not supposed to be high-end, but it sure sounds nice. As per their support, this model is NOT compatible with Ortofon styli - the heights and the counterweights are just a bit off. Not a deal breaker for most people, but just be aware. However, if I want to go with a dedicated pre-amp someday, it's fully supported by this turntable. Super happy with this purchase, highly recommend this product and this company. ... show more
