Pure Analog PerformanceThe Reference turntable continues our mission to deliver a warm, uncompressed listening experience that commands your attention, allowing you to get lost in the music. |
Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge for an Open, Dynamic and Warm SoundExceptional musical accuracy from the award-winning diamond tipped elliptical 2M Red cartridge that provides an increased output of 5.5mV. Incorporating Ortofon’s split pole pins allowing the moving magnet cartridge to have a flat frequency response for a pure sound without any coloration. |
Precision Playback with Motor Isolation and Speed ControlThe precision servo-controlled belt drive motor with speed regulating optical sensor, continuously measures and adjusts variances in linear velocity and acceleration within a few hundredths of a percent at a wow and flutter of 0.07%. The decoupling of the drive from the plinth suppresses motor vibrations and noise from reaching the stylus. This maintains accurate speed and significantly reduces rumble so your records sound perfect at every play |

Wood Plinth for Superior Resistance to VibrationsThe mass-loaded multi-layered MDF wood chassis inhibits the transfer of unwanted resonance through the system. The 3 rubber, spike-type height-adjustable isolation feet minimize surface contact under the turntable resulting in immunity to environmental vibrations, allowing for greater low frequency signal pickup and improved imaging. |
Spectacular Signal ClarityCaress your records with the balanced S-shaped tonearm for accurate tracking of the record groove with no electronics in the signal path from the stylus tip to the gold-plated RCA outputs for a pure, exceptionally detailed sound. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I started a record collection about 2 years before purchasing the record player I’m reviewing (Fluance RT-83). My goal was to bring a little more ceremony into my music listening and I felt like vinyl would do the trick. I had a decent pair of speakers and a nice receiver but was using a clunky base model Sony record player. I don’t remember the model but paid about 90$ at Best Buy for it.
Upon researching multiple models and looking into what made a record player good (FYI a big part of it, is the needle), I chose the fluance rt-83. It was about 100$ more than I was planning to spend but ended up being worth the upgrade.
The most influential review I read had stated that this model was the first player that you would truly notice a difference in sound quality. Why? Because of the needle. The ortofon 2m red cartridge costs more than my previous player as a whole. It is an elliptical needle tipped with diamond. This promises a durable but dynamic needle that is capable of hitting higher frequencies than less expensive conical tipped needles. The sound produced by this needle and player is warm and brought a new level appreciation to this older technology.
The other notable feature of this player is the adjustable counterweight for the tone arm. It may not seem like a huge feature, but it can save records over the long term. Lower end record player’s needles lay on the record, dragging the needle along the surface of the vinyl. The RT-83 and alike have needles that are suspended and do not apply pressure to the record and preserve the quality.
The adjustable legs, the drive motor, the wooden finish... all of these features really make this player a joy to experience visually and audibly.
My final note: watch Fluance’s set up video. It will be faster and easier than following the written directions.

The looks of it is beautiful , very clean and sophisticated looking (I ordered it in walnut) like a fine piece of furniture, goes nicely in my house.
Now consider the price and it is incredibly good value for the money. I have it connected to an Onkyo 2 channel network receiver with Klipsch speakers and it is sounds fantastic! Set up was very easy with clear , concise instructions.
Thanks Fluance
This is my first turntable purchase and so I have a limited perspective regarding how it sounds compared to other units of similar cost. What I will say is that it has worked flawlessly since I bought it and sounds good to my ears through my Yamaha Aventage series integrated amp. I think a lot of the credit for that goes to the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. Though not the best cartridge you can buy, it delivers accurate sound with good low, mid, and high end frequency reproduction. Depending on the pressing, you get a room-filling sense of space and volume that's missing from the more compressed sound inherent in MP3's and digital streaming services like Spotify. It has made me a believer in the superiority of vinyl, but again: that's highly dependent on the quality of the pressing.
Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and it's nice to know that I can upgrade the platter and cartridge if I so choose to in the future. The only thing that I would improve on is the tone arm assembly. Though the arm itself is metal, the assembly is made of plastic and feels a bit cheap. Still, I would recommend this unit to anyone looking to get into vinyl without breaking the bank. Note: make sure you buy a decent gauge to dial in the downforce of the stylus. Makes all the difference when set right and will save unnecessary wear on your records.
