- UPDATE! Fluance has changed the configuration of the RT-84. Due to customer demand, the RT-84 will include an Ortofon 2M BLUE cartridge and an aluminum platter with rubber mat, instead of the 2M RED cartridge, and acrylic platter. The price will remain the same.

Nicely reviewed. You have a clear delivery which is easy to understand, and your knowledge of all things music gives me confidence when considering buying something new.
I look forward to hearing some vinyl play on that puppy soon :)
I got the RT 82 coming! These look amazing! Just subbed, thanks so much for your review, I've been watching a lot of them and this is the most in-depth!
Thanks so much for posting these reviews and for giving your opinions of the turntables.I am 66 years old and something sparked an interest in vinyl after all these years. Its a pleasure to watch you speak so honestly about the product.
You forgot to warm up the lava lamp
No, the heat of the lamp would affect the sound of the turntable
Just to thank you from an ex hifi snob. Back in the day, I was part of the Linn brigade and invested a small fortune in listening to records. Getting back into vinyl your videos are a breath of fresh air. Thank you and keep posting.
Great review as always. I bought the Fluance RT-81 about year ago almost based solely on your review, and I've been very happy with it. The RT-84 looks like a great unit with a lot of great features, but...I'm still so happy with my RT-81 that I think I'll be sticking with it for the foreseeable future.
Same with me ,happy ,happy .RT 81 is excellent all I'll ever need .
Thank you, again for another honest review. The Fluance RT-84 will be my next upgraded TT very soon.
I enjoy your videos Craig. Just wanted to encourage you for putting them out on YT. They're interesting and they keep my attention.
I have been waiting patiently for this video ever since you first opened the turntable thank you for the follow up. looking forward to one day hearing how a Schiit mani pre amp and a Nagaoka MP 110 Cartridge will sound with this turntable.
thank you for your videos they helped me make my decision pretty easily and get the RT-85
I really appreciate your calm and just strait forward facts focus to your videos
Thanks for the unboxings, reviews and other videos Craig, I'm on a budget and was going to get a Rega P1 but thanks to you i'm getting a RT81 and i know i will love it! Keep up the great work sir!
Don't be silly. The rega is a real turntable.

Mine wasn't. It was garbage and probably the most disappointing purchase in audio ever. I have an old SL-1200, an SL-23, and a Pro-Ject DC. My Planar1 went back after ridiculous anti-skate issues, hum, and static issues. I wanted to love it. Spent 1 week on the 1st one trying to diagnose all the issues, and spent 2 weeks on the replacement. I'm not the only one and yes it doesn't affect every unit. However my other 3 TT's had no issue with hum or static and definitely no skating issues. Now I have had the RT85 for a few weeks......although not the best TT ever, I dare say in it's price range I have a hard time saying it isn't.
Great job. You are a natural at reviews. I think Fluance is a wonderful company. They put a lot of thought into everything they do. They make Canada proud. I currently have a Technics LP-120 USB but I really really want to get an RT-85 to pair with my Klipsch "The Fives" powered speakers (which has a pre-amp and I can't recommend enough!)
The Rt-85 looks like the king of budget tables. Looks higher quality than either project debut carbon or orbit plus.
Great video you explain things in a very knowledgeable way. I always tune in to your website. Jim from Pittsburgh.
Hi Craig! So my motger asked me what i wanted for christmas, and i said believe it or not a record player. She doesnt have a ton of money, so i went with your recomendation and asked for the rt-81. This now completes my system. (Technics 7200 integrated amp from a friends storage unit, a matching tuner from ebay for $25, and a set of paradigm studio monitors) I listened to my very first record a week ago, and all k can say is wow. I had no idea how much i was missing in warmth and frequancy compared to streaming music. Ive been fascinated with the thought of analog to analog audio. Thank you sharing your knowledge with us! Now i just need to start a record collection!
First Album Purchase - Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon - Analog Remaster 30th Anniversary I think, (might be wrong about the anniversary years). It will blow your Mind if you're a Floyd Fan.
Pat, congrats on discovering the world of vinyl. Sounds like you have a great system going and I know you will enjoy many hours of great music. Most young people have been raised on 128 bit mp3 and streaming. Going from 128 bit to analog is like going from a go-cart to a real car. Enjoy!
Congratulations on the new job!
Thanks Craig,
I really like your style of reviewing. My years old DenonDP300f is still performing nicely with a Grado Green cartridge, but if it should go south on me, I would look into the Fluance line because of your excellent reviews. For some reason I just cannot warm up to an acrylic platter. Oh well, lots of folks gripe about plastic Japanese turntables for no real reason other than they are plastic. Mine still sounds fine. Thanks again for real knowledgeable information!
Thank you for great review of the Fluance RT84. The Fluance RT85 was out of stock for a long time. It finally came back in stock last week and I ordered one. It arrived today in the mail and I have to say I am really impressed by the craftsmanship and sound quality of this turntable. I sure I am going to love playing all my records again on this thing. Thanks again sir.
Nice! Was the stylus properly alligned out the box?
@@thenow5559 Yes it was. I checked it with a protractor I have on hand.
Just got my RT85 yesterday, sadly will return it immediatly, the speed is inacuarate, its not comstant, flactuates betweem 33.4-33.8. Unaceptable. I bought it based on their 'new servo motor' which is supposed to be accurate speed. No surprise there, its cheap for a reason. Will save up for the real deal, technice sl1200 gr.
The Fluance turntable reminds me of one I bought in the 60's or 70's. It was an AR turntable, outside belt driven, good motor and a so-so arm and a cheap cartridge but it sold for a little over $100.00 CDN. After a few upgrades, it was great (arm, cartridge) Thanks for the great info that will help new buyer get more for their money.
Thanks for that great review. I’m now looking at the RT 84 and it seems to come with the blue cartridge now which is a bonus, but an aluminium platter. Looks like a lovely piece of kit so looking forward to it. Cheers.
I just bought the 81 based on your reviews. Should be here Tuesday. I'm very excited to get back into the hobby.
Just got mine Sunday and like you, his review really helped me make my final decision. It. Is. Amazing.
Update: My wife talked me into sending it back before even opening it. She thanks I should wait till Christmas. Oops.
Ended up getting the RT84. It's so nice.
stitch1007 I think you made the right call. I would’ve at least started at the 82 since it works with all the other parts to eventually upgrade to the 85. So good choice.
Good job Craig. As usual you present and review very well... I just purchased the Ortofon 2M Blue and I feel that this turntable really deserves to have that cartridge to bring out it's full potential. - Get the Blue cartridge version people! It's too good of a turntable to be messing around with the Red.
waiting for delivery of my glossy, piano white rt85 with acrylic platter. glad they took your suggestion.
I love watching your videos. You have a lot of good things to say and say them well. Please keep it up. By the way, I bought the DMM of Rush’s 2112 today. It sounds fantastic and the hologram is really cool. Long live Rush!
I love the DMMs of their stuff. I have most of them. Treated like gold!
Good review, I really enjoyed it even if I already have an awesome (and similar) turntable, a Pro-Ject Debut Esprit, which has both the 2m Red and the acrylic platter. I'm not all this experienced with cartirdges but I can say that the 2m Red is a really detailed one, really brings out all the transients and the high end details. For the acrylic platter slippery I could recommend you to get a clamp or a weight, I got one exactly to solve that problem and works wonders!
Just picked up the RT81 at a local flea market. New in box for 150. I will be upgrading to the Ortofon Red and a good tube hybrid pre amp to round out my tone. I'm extremely happy with my purchase and highly recommend Fluance turntables.
I believe we need a review about this awesome shirt you wearing next, Craig. Good review and I'm actually considering getting the RT85 as an upgrade to my old turntable. Seems I'm a bit out of luck though as I'm in Europe and I can't find them for sale anywhere here and their official store is out of stock. Oh well.
Just found your channel! Great review and highly informational. In the market for an 81. Everything's sold out! 😆
Great job Craig. Now I have to get one. I already have the 81 with 2m red thanks to you..
I have an 81 as well and thinking of upgrading to the Ortofon 2m. Did you get a new headshell or used the stock one? Any issues with the mounting/clearance? Thanks!
The buiuld quality looks amazing!
Thanks to this video, I ordered the RT82 off Amazon today.
How is it?
RobotWookiee It is the most amazing turntable I’ve ever had in my life. So very pleased.
@@Nic1973KISS can I ask what previous TT's you are comparing to please. I've gone down the ravit hole and now can't choose between a new fluance, pro-ject or plana
I bought the rt83, because of this video. Its the same as the 84, except it doesn't have the acrylic platter. Love my Fluance turntable! Thank you for bringing the brand to my attention.
The RT83 can also be the same as the RT85 when you change the platter and stylus. In fact, that's what I'm going to do - purchase the RT83, replace the platter with an acrylic, and use my 2M Blue.
@@CardsharpGaming Yes, its great you can do that with these turntables. I'm so happy with mine.
@@tylerenns8730 - Agreed! I just purchased the RT83 this morning. Can't wait for this upgrade; it's time to move on from my AT-LP120!
@@CardsharpGaming Yes the rt83 is an excellent piece of equipment. I had one of those horrible all in one victrolas. For me this is just a whole new world.
@@tylerenns8730 - My very first TT was a Crosley I bought at a Hollister in Vegas when visiting a friend. I'm not a stranger to records and record players (my father owned one) but when he showed me his small collection, I had to go buy a TT and a few records myself. I realized soon this was something I really wanted to get into so I upgraded a couple times till I got my AT-LP120. After much research I think the RT83 with my added upgrades will be the last in a very long time (if not last, period) TT upgrade.
Hi Greg,I just bought the RT81 in White,thanks for the recommendation,I love it.
I am a simple man. I see a turntable with an acrylic platter and I click "like" 😊
You're the man, Craig. I pretty much stay with vintage tables. But these new Fluance tables look pretty good for the money. Also have "them" Ortofon carts if those float your boat!
The main reason for having the belt on the outside of the platter is to have a thick platter, without a subplatter. You can swap the platter from the 81 to the 84, but try it the other way around then you get the picture. Besides that I don't think Fluance put that much thought in to it, because there's really nothing new to the construction. They took already existing ideas, which doesn't require too much brainstorming. It may sound a bit negative, but don't take it for more than it is. This looks to be a very good modern turntable, approching the quality of Rega for instance, and I love the fact that they skipped the build in preamp. A good sign that they are getting serious.
Great video mate.
Nice review of a very handsome turntable! I would suggest using a screw-down record clamp when an acrylic platter is being used, as it will help hold the record more tightly to the acrylic; giving better record stability, plus, it'll stop and skidding of the record on the smooth surface, thus helping to protect against scratching. I use the 'Project Klamp-it' record clamp on my Project turntable with acrylic platter....sounds lovely!
Excellent thorough review
Nice review Craig. Good video as always, just love it. Remember you can actuallt do your needle drops on YT video with the Vintage Reserve album (just a thought) without having to worry about copyright issues?? I'll get my own on order as soon as they become available over here. :D 17 and regards to you and your family.
Awesome video, content & grrreat review!. Happy Belated Birthday...
Now since the time of this video I have just purchased the Orotofon 2m Red and I love this cartridge.
Great review! Thanks for sharing.
Great video Craig!
great review,, thank you Craig..
Great review! I'm looking at the RT-85 (when they get them) and the MoFi UltraDeck. I like having a 33/45 power switch. Have you ever had a TT by MoFi? Thanks.
As usual a great relaxed and positive review. I really like those! I'm really curious about it now. I wonder why they aren't for sale here in the Netherlands........
Thanks for the review. Now I just have to wait for the RT 85 to become available, hopefully in February as I was told by Fluance. I'm sorry to hear that people are having problems with shipments to the UK. For the price of the RT 85 I can't find an other turntable with the same feature list without adding a few hundred dollars more. The other wishlist Item might be a carbon fiber tonearm "S" shaped. I'm not sold on how much different it would perform over aluminum but they do look Purdy. :) I priced a Pro-ject Esprit Carbon at 799 cdn that didn't have all the features as the RT 85 has at 665 cdn. Both lovely turntables but bang for the buck Fluance seems to sell itself.
Great helpful channel, love what you are doing. Fluance is running a 20% off special right now, but the highest model available is the RT83 so I went with one of those. I'm curious if you think the aluminum platter with the silicone rubber mat is that much of a downgrade? I actually think the 2M red sounds pretty natural in comparison to the blue, the blue is a little punchier, wider, but it can do this little upper mid range push that can feel a little forced and less balanced, I don't think it's an issue for me, but I am a little concerned about missing out on the heavy acrylic platter, is it better or is it a little bit of marketing hyperbole?
I love your reviews, look forward to the new ones all the time. Your microphone also sounds fantastic - I'm thinking its either a Neumann TLM102 or Sennheiser MK4?
It's an MXL-990, but don't tell anyone and they will never know :)
Hi Craig, thanks for this review.
I am thinking about buying and setting up a turntable system for a while and now I think it's the time!
I am considering buying the following set-up: Fluance RT82, Denon PMA800NE and ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2.
What do you think about it? Would you recommend, add or change anything? Thank you!
Great review Craig.
My personal choice would be the RT 82 as I like the piano black finish. I also prefer the 'look' of the Ortofon OM series over the later M series.
Basically the OM 10 is the same as the 2M Red just in the older body type.
Just need these coming to the UK.......
Starting to wonder about some of the things I am reading
“The OM 10 is the same as the 2M red just in an older body type”
And someone else writes that the 2M Red is the same as the 2M Blue except the stylus. It is true the stylus is different. A bonded diamond and Nude.
It sounds like they make one cartridge with different needles 😳
Is the tonearm on this turntable set at the same height as the one on the RT81. Fluance mentions that the tracking angle might be different if you upgrade the RT81 with the Ortofon Red. Wondering if the angles on both series allow for swapping between Audio Technica and Ortofon cartridges.
That's a brilliant idea with the three feet.
I'm really interested in getting a Fluance TT. But, I wish they'd offer one without a cartridge. I have several almost new ones that I could install which would keep the price down a bit.
Excellent Review!!
Do you know what the noise floor is? Would like to see a tear down any chance. Can you change vta, not sure about acrylic platter the jury's is out on that one
My RT85's arriving tomorrow, and I must admit to buying it partially for the Ortofon 2M Blue and the acrylic platter, which combined come to £240 of the entire turntable's £499.99 price! I already have a NAD C588 and a lovely DUAL CS 505-3, so I'll be interested to hear how the RT85 compares.
I bought the RT85 a few weeks ago, set it up, balanced the tone arm, tested the stylus force with a digital stylus pressure gauge to make sure it's correct and leveled the plinth. I finally got around to testing the anti-skate with a blank CD. I found the only setting that will keep the stylus steady was all the way up to 4 on the dial (which is the highest so can't go any further...lol). The setting "should" be 1.8, just like the counterweight, but no go. I did some research on the net and found this is a known problem, at least with some of their models. I've written their support to find out if keeping the anti-skate so high will damage my records. I don't know what would damage them more, keeping the setting high but at least stabilizing the skate or the recommended setting and have the stylus pushing in? Maybe some that are much more knowledgeable about such things can enlighten me.
If you tape a nickel on top of the head it will sound better and won't skip .
17 Craig! Amazing cast last Frideh!! Cheerz!!🎼🎶🥁
Only if you use it as a card table! It really makes a lot of sense from a balancing standpoint; and triangles are quite stable.
Is there any way to adjust the vertical position of the tone arm to keep it parallel to the platter? I don't see any way to make that happen.
Great video! One suggestion, I would buy plastic record sleeves before worrying about putting the album cover in plastic.
Great video . That a great turntable.
cool turntables, I like the 1980s turntables I have but if I wanted a new one I would consider one of these.
I just discovered your channel. Love the honest reviews and advice. I'm wondering if you have seen the Audio Technica AT-LP140X and what you think of it versus the Fluance? I have read that Audio Technica have solved a lot of the issues with the AT-LP120 with this model. If you were looking for a turntable today would you consider it or still buy the Fluance? Thanks!
Perfect review
Would be interesting to see a comparison between this turntable and a U-turn orbit special which is at about the same price point
Hi, I'm from the UK, I've had an Audio Technica LP120 for a few years and been very happy with it but now thinking of getting a Fluance rt84, in your opinion is it a step up or is it a step side ways.
Many thanks Gordon.
Craig I’m truly glad they sent this to you. I think you should have made contrasting differences between the two tables and made that comparison based off price. I know you said no built in preamp and feet dampening and they share the same platter, were their other differences? For those making a choice between the 81 and 84 is the sound quality better on the 84 and all things considered is it a better turntable for the dollar and do you know if you will be getting an 85? Thank you Craig and thanks for your time.
Having said that, my current turntable is an LP I audiotechnic and I would like to improve the sound, which recommends me to be economical, since I am a new parent I can not spend much, thanks for your consideration!
I have the RT82T in walnut color and the Ortofon OM 10 and I really like it!
Ok so I'm sold on fluance but I can't decide between the rt 81 or the 83. Now I understand that the 83 doesn't have a preamp but it does come with the red Ortofon that I was going to immediately upgrade on the 81. What has me is the speed is adjustable on the 81 and the 83 has a servo controlling the speed. That is the only real concerning difference I'm seeing right?
Hi Craig, thanks to your review I decided to purchase the RT-84 with Ortofon 2M Blue. I am SO happy that I did. I was able to purchase while it was briefly on sale and I feel I got the deal of the century. In your opinion, how much BETTER does the acrylic platter perform compared to the aluminum with rubber mat? I am thinking about the upgrade, someday, just wanted to hear your thoughts. Thanks again for your work, keep it up! We all enjoy your thoughts and opinions.
What can you recommend to cut down on static electricity? I can spin clean a record, and as soon as I put it on, it's collected dust, and I get zapped when touching the tone arm. Thanks.
The 2 GRND wires are for connecting 1 to the turntable and the preamp ( if you have one ) and the preamp to the amp, or you can cut your setup shorter and get an amp with a phono input.
Nice review. I like the fact you point out all the little details like the leveling feet and the cue lever now being redesigned so it's further away from the tonearm as in the RT-81. Also, I, like you prefer the real, solid hinges on the dustcover (Are you reading this, Rega? With your flimsy hinges for $600?)
I have a systemdek IIx which i bought back in the ninetys as a hifi nubee,luck was with me as the guys in the store were very helpful.
It still runs on the original belt and sounds awsome with the audio technica at110e which i bought a year later.I am so glad i kept it all these years with it's original rb250 tonearm its a jewel.................
Thoughts or experience with the Pro-Ject Debut Recordmaster USB turntable? The newer one with the 2M Red. I intend to listen in real-time via USB through my HTPC going straight through my Khadas Tone Board, this way I can use a high quality digital EQ (my custom speakers absolutely require the use of an EQ to boost bass).
Cheers! I want one now.
Maybe I should start saving for one of these!
I've got the RT-82 and I'm loving it so far. You can tell this company cares about making a quality product. I love that you can upgrade these Reference turntables as well. I can eventually upgrade my RT-82 to an RT-85 if I choose to. When I was looking for a new table, that one aspect was a pretty big factor in my decision to go with Fluance. At this price point, you really can't go wrong with any of the Reference models, in my opinion.
Personally, I think that the configuration change with the RT84 makes sense. Customers may upgrade their RT84’s aluminum platter with the acrylic one, turning the RT84 into the RT85. Fluance has offered the acrylic platter previously for the RT82 & RT83, but I don’t see it currently being offered. Perhaps it’s because of the backlog of the RT85s, but once Fluance has caught-up, I expect to see the acrylic platters to be offered again.
I’m curious as to whether the spindle can be removed with everything else intact? Once in a while I have an off center pressing that I try to center, but obviously that’s impossible (aside from carving out a larger center hole on the record!) if the spindle can’t be removed. Thanks for your review!
I don't believe it can, and I wouldn't try disturbing the bearing.
Your review has me excited to not over-spend on buying a turntable. That being said I am strongly considering the Fluance RT884/85 and the Project Classic. Have you ever listened to a Project Classic?
First I want to tell you how much I enjoy your videos and the straight talk no BS you bring to my new hobby. I've been going back and forth between the Fluance RT85 and Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB to replace my hated Marantz TT42 which was my first turntable (you never forget your first). Watching your channel has nearly convinced me to go with the RT85. The only thing that's preventing me from clicking the ''Buy it Now'' button on the Fluance website is that I keep hearing the tonearm is a big issue on the RT. I don't think you can upgrade a tonearm and it's a pretty important part of the table. My question will the tonearm bug me, will it affect the sound to make me regret going with the Fluance? Thanks for your help and keep doing what you do
I'm surprised you heard that. I have no problem with the tonearm on either of my RTs. In fact, I just went and had a good look and handled the one on both and they are both solid and very well made. So, my answer is that there is NO issue with the tonearm. I've had my RT81 for well over a year, and all is still like new. Have fun!
Thanks, that’s just what I needed to hear to put my order through. So now I can tell the wife that it’s all your fault that I spent all that money. Hehehe! Thanks for the reply and happy new year!
hey, good evening I have a quick question what would be a good amp to use with it? im trying to get something that won't break my bank.
Hey Craig I never noticed your nikko beta II before
Is that what you use as a preamp?
I love mine
Better than my NAD and B&K
A real sleeper
Yes, I found mine at a thrift store for $15 working. I love it!
How about a nice Piano gloss in any color you like???
Thanks for this review. What are the apps on your phone you use to check the turntable level and the turntable speed?
This turntable seems like a much better option than the Audio Technica AT120... and I understand your reasons for not wanting a DJ type turntable but I love my Technics SL1200 MK 2 in black! I still don’t find any modern tables anywhere near it’s price point with comparable build quality! Running the Ortofon 2M Blue with it and it’s amazing! Instant speed. Perfect rubber mat! Nearly everything is adjustable and customizable! Just a wonderful listening platform! I did enjoy your review though as I always do and this deck looks like a solid choice for the money. I do agree that three feet are a much better idea! BTW, I too am a Rush fan and based on your review, I bought the double vinyl set of Clockwork Angels! It’s a pricey set but money well spent! I can now clearly hear all the layers of music on this masterpiece! I whole heartedly agree with you that the vinyl version is the one to own if given a choice! The CD sounded so compressed I had stopped listening to it and forgot the music. Now I can’t get enough of this album!
I've never switched a component out so fast as I did the AT LP120. It's the most clumsily built piece of equipment I've ever used. I ended up buying a 1200MK3 from Japan, and it's a thousand times better for the same price.
I have a Project 1 Xpression III comfort with custom tonearm cables and AT440b cartridge this also has a acrylic platter, electronic speed selector and Auto stop feature.
Very good review and lovely turntable.
What are your thoughts on Turntable record weights.
Fluance will be releasing a preamp specifically designed for the Reference turntables in late March.
Hi Craig, i have a Lenco L-85 TT from 1974, and i'm using it for years, in combination with a Benz Micro Silver MC cartridge, now i'm looking for a more modern TT, do you think this RT-84 will be a good competitor for the Lenco ? :) thanks !
Love your shirt!
I bought a RT 85 mine came scratched I’m waiting for a replacement this has been about a half a month. Hopefully they will be back in stock soon so they can send my replacement. Other than that they are nice turntable.
Do I need to buy a preamp if I use Klipsch R-51PM speakers?
Thanks for the honest review. I currently own a LP-120usb and Im hating it. (motor noise and rumble). Therefore a good belt drive TT is in my future. I am definitely leaning toward this table. I am approx the same age as you and I was heavy into music in the 70's & 80's and had several great TT back then. (Sansui, Denon, Technics) I am just now getting back into the analog scene and cannot describe how I miss my old system. I thought the LP-120usb would be close to my Technics 1200. Boy, was I wrong... Then I tried a couple of "vintage tables" . They all needed more work than they were worth. So, a new modern well built belt drive is where Im currently headed. Looking at Pro-ject, Uturn, Rega and Fluance. Sofar the Fluance RT-85 is looking like a solid winner. (BTW, once I get its replacement the LP-120 is hitting Ebay, if I can even stand it that long.. Heck, I may just throw it in the trash)
I recommended the LP120 to people a few years ago, and I'm embarrassed that I did. The motor noise is depressing and my tonarm bearing needed tightening because of noise. My cue lever has no dampening. I use it on my live broadcast where no one notices these things, and I'm being rough cuing up records. No way I would do that with my Fluance tables.
I bought a RT-85 and plan on using an
Art Audio Vinyl One tube Phono Preamp with it.
The Art Audio should let the turntable sing.
Thanks for your review.
Nice phono! Get a well tempered turntable
Can you do a review on pre amps? I bought the RT-84 and I am seeing reviews of humming. Please insruct us on how and why to use these. You never mentioned that it needs a pre-amp. Please???
he did say that there is no pre-amp. you can get one from fluance or other similar companies, don't need to go crazy on the budget for it
