5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing turntable!
I purchased both this table and their rt80, as I have multiple setups, and let me start by saying, finally a company who does it right! Build quality on this thing is of the up most quality. Everything is in line, clean, and runs beautifully. Aesthetically, the rt81 is gorgeous, but it is not only eye candy...the sound quality of this turntable is unrivaled, even of more expensive tables. I was using the built in preamp through my denon 9.1 avr setup and was just throttled by how rich a sound I was getting out of such a well built machine. I honestly do not think there is a better company making turntables, with or without a preamp, any where near this price point for the quality machine you are getting. There are so many poor built turntables out there now that just eat your records with bad needles and poor quality control....this, however, this not one of them. Setup was a breeze, i was listening to my records ten minutes after unboxing it. They even took the time to package it very thoughtfully, as to ensure the safety of all the components during travel. Clearly this is a company who cares. Customer service even followed up by calling to ask if I had any questions and if I was satisfied, i didn't even think good customer service existed anymore! Alas, i was wrong! The truth of it is you are getting one of the best built and sounding turntables on the market at an unbelievable price. I did, however, receive a discount for an honest review, and because I was so impressed with the build and sound quality of the rt80, I bought the rt81 for my other setup. Do yourself a favor if you are in the market for a new turntable, and buy one of fluances tables.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very basic turntable, but well-constructed with good sound for the price
It's the end of 2019 and my late-70's Sanyo turntable that has been in my family since I was a wee lad has finally given up the ghost. When it was new, it was a solid mid-range turntable with nice features like direct drive, auto play and return, and easily-adjusted speed. It lasted forty years, which is more than I can say about most modern pieces of audio equipment. A moment of silence, please.When looking for a replacement turntable, I found that I wasn't able to find a decent model that had all of the functions of my old turntable unless I was willing and able to plop down more cash than was possible while keeping my marriage intact. I get it. Records are now and will remain a niche format at best, so the economies of scale dictate that the cost of obtaining a solid turntable is going to be higher than the days when vinyl was the dominant audio format. Still, I was determined to get the best quality turntable that I could afford.My demands were few, but important:It had to be well-constructed. - While I don't expect the turntable to last me for the rest of my life, it had to feel solid and use durable materials.It had to have decent sound. - While I still have decent hearing, I'm in my late-40's, so the days when I could easily discern minute differences in frequency are in the past. With that said, I love my records and want to get the best possible sound quality out of them. Yes, records have shortcomings. Even the best-maintained record may have the occasional pop or crackle. However, a well-mastered and pressed album can deliver audio that stands toe-to-toe with most modern digital releases. Yes, high-res digital audio files have been released for many albums, but everything comes down to mastering and there are a lot of albums being sold as high-res that sound terrible. A container is only as good as the audio it contains.It had to allow me to easily change the cartridge, stylus, and shell and allow for the necessary adjustments when doing so. - I don't care how nice the cartridge and stylus are that are included with a turntable; they wear out over time. Also, there are more often than not better-quality options for these items on the market.It had to provide assurance that it wouldn't tear up my records. - When I see people buying a Crosley or any other ultra-cheap turntable I want to grab them by the shoulders and beg them to turn away from the dark path on which they are heading. If you're willing to pay the inflated prices that records go for these days, especially newer pressings, the last thing you want to do is play them on a turntable that has a tracking force so high that you may as well be using a sewing needle.Taking all of this "must-have's" into account, anything else offered by a particular model would be icing on the cake. I looked around at audiophile sites, publications, etc. and, after laughing at some of the models that were touted as "good buys" that cost as much as a semester at college, I saw the same brand mentioned time and time again: Fluance.Fluance has garnered a healthy reputation as a company that offers a wide range of turntables that deliver solid performance for quite reasonable prices. Like all turntable manufacturers, they offer some high-end models, but even the models toward the lower end of their catalog don't skimp on the necessities.The RT81 falls into the lower end of their range, but I have to say that I'm impressed with it. It was easy to assemble and the parts are constructed of sturdy materials. It offers a built-in preamp for those without phono inputs on their receiver, however it is easily disabled via a switch on the rear of the turntable should you have an external preamp or one built into your receiver. I had no trouble at all switching out the included cartridge and stylus with an Ortofon Red that I had been using on my old turntable (Those are amazing, by the way.) and making the adjustments on the tone arm. I've been putting the turntable through its paces quite a bit since its arrival and am very satisfied with the audio quality. It doesn't blow away some of the more expensive turntables I've listened to, but it's very good, especially considering its cost. It is good enough that, should I find myself in a position wherein I can afford a more expensive turntable, I wouldn't hesitate considering one of Fluance's higher-end models. The fact that there was obvious care put into one of their lower-end models speaks volumes about the company.Do I miss the extra features I had on my Sanyo that are lacking on the Fluance RT81? Sure. With that said, the RT81 has so far delivered very solid, no-frills performance and I'm more than satisfied with my purchase.
5.0 out of 5 stars Competes with more expensive turntables
The Fluance RT81 Elite is an incredible turntable for the price and an excellent entry point into vinyl.It feels solid and well built, with a thick, high-gloss plinth that looks sleek and substantial in person. It doesn’t feel cheap or lightweight, and it fits nicely into a living space where it’s meant to be seen, not hidden away.Sound quality is very impressive for a starter table. It delivers a clean, enjoyable presentation and easily competes with turntables that cost quite a bit more. The built-in phono preamp works well and is a great feature to have, especially if you’re pairing it with a basic amp or powered speakers. It makes setup simple without sacrificing sound.I also checked wow and flutter using my phone, and the results were well within acceptable tolerances, which lines up with how stable it sounds in real-world listening. Pitch is consistent and records play smoothly.I have it connected to a small amplifier and a pair of 4-inch bookshelf speakers, and it’s been perfect for our family room. It’s great for putting a record on in the background when guests are over while still sounding good enough to sit down and listen closely.
Giradischi Fluance color legno
Il giradischi è bellissimo, elegante, rifinito in modo impeccabile, ma soprattutto si sente molto bene. Io l’ho collegato ad un Onkio TX-SR343 e dopo anni ho riapprezzato il piacere del vinile.
Qualité au rendez-vous.
Tout est ok, platine parfaite pour mon usage.La notice est en anglais et le réglage du contrepoids un peu délicat, mais pour le reste, c'est un excellent produit.
Toller Klang, kein Komfort
Dieser Plattenspieler ist nur für High-Hifi-Fans geeignet. Eine Start-Stop Automatik gibt es nicht, auf Bluetooth oder USB solltes Du auch verzichten können.Dafür bekommst Du ein Gerät mit Ober-Klasse-Ambitionen zum Einsteiger-Preis. Für mehr Komfort (Halb- oder Voll-Automatik) werden locker 100 bis 200,- € mehr fällig.Das Gerät wird ordentlich verpackt geliefert. Der Tonkopf, das Gegengewicht, der Platten-Teller und der Deckel sind separat verpackt und müssen montiert werden. Der Zusammen-Bau ist für Laien nicht ganz einfach aber mit online Videos gut möglich. Die Anleitung liegt nur in Englisch bei. Ein "Vinyl-Fan" kennt die Prozedur vom alten Player - aus die 70er und 80er.Der Spieler macht einen soliden Eindruck. Er sieht wertig und sehr edel aus. Der Deckel ist leicht getönt, die Chich-Anschlüsse sind vergoldet, ein vergoldetes Kabel (ca. 90 cm, mit Erdung) ist im Lieferumfang. Ich nutze ein ca. 150 cm AUX Kabel mit doppelter Abschirmung (vergoldet ohne Erdung). Das Netzteil ist extern, der Anschluss an der Rückseite.Der Tonabnehmer ist ein Original von Audio Technika mit elyptischen Schliff, der gesamte Tonkopf ist wechselbar und Upgrade fähig.Ich habe das Gerät an einen Denon AVR 1200 angeschlossen. Dieser hat keinen Phono-Anschluss. Die Wiedergabe über einen analogen Chich-Eingang funktioniert einwandfrei. Der Sound über meine 7.0 (Polk ES Serie und JBL L-150 Serie) Lautsprecher Konfiguration ist fantastisch - in Stereo und DTS-X (ein AVR 2800 ist geplant).Für Grobmotoriker mit schlechten Augen ist das Gerät nicht geeignet. Festere Berührungen (auch das Schließen vom Deckel) sind in den Lautsprechern hörbar. Die Bedienung (Tonarm mit Lift Aufsetzen und Abnehmen) erfordert Gefühl und Übung.Fazit: toller Klang, ein Klassiker für Fans, ein Hingucker im Wohnzimmer, Erinnerungen an Lenco, Thorens und Technics werden geweckt - frag Mal Google :-)

Gratamente sorprendido, la recomiendo y un gran sonido , cálido y eficiente. No te arrepentirás.
AMAZING BUILD QUALITY AND PRICE POINT
Delivery was earlier than stated, right in time for the weekend. WOW! This TT is amazing. Did a lot of research and decided this was the one for me and wow, I am so happy with the decision. Incredible machine. First of all, build quality is so good. This things looks and feels so premium. You can tell Fluance put a lot of thought into it. Everything feels so solid. Also, it came ready right out of the box. I measured everything and it came level and set up right away. Instructions were very clear, set up took minutes. It makes my speakers sound even better. I haven’t tried the internal preamp yet bc I have a separate phono preamp and wow, what a huge difference. It’s a TT anyone would love to own and for the price, I don’t think you’ll find anything better. It’s probably better or at least as good as more expensive competitors, no doubt. I love that it is quite heavy, definitely has some heft too it which is great and why it feels so premium. The cartridge that comes with it makes the difference in sound and adds to the value of it. Last I checked the cartridge alone is almost $100 CAD. Considering it’s a third of the price of the whole package, it’s definitely a very good deal indeed. Will spend all weekend playing records now (originally delivery date was Monday or Tuesday). Big thanks to the Seller for delivering quickly and Fluance for making this beautiful TT. I got piano white and this thing is gorgeous. If you are considering this, I would say go for it. There’s literally nothing to dislike about it.
