What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Fluance RT81 High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player with Dual Magnet Cartridge
- Much heavier than my LP60 which helps with vibration and the feet articulate and are cushioned so no problems with vibrations.
- First thing you notice is the weight this is heavy the next is how nice it looks the build quality is spot on.
- Looks like a very high premium Turntable,lovely wood finish I'd expect on a high end electric guitar, has a nice weight to it and feels sturdy and well put together.
- Heavy, beautiful polished base, well engineered looking parts and AT cartridge.
- I purchased the walnut color RT81. I was absolutely delighted with how beautifully crafted it was. It has a really good solid weight to it.

What customers say about "Audio"
Fluance RT81 High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player with Dual Magnet Cartridge
- This turntable sounds great! Clear and precise. Recommneded!
- The included needle sounds great, I'm going to stick with it until it needs to be replaced and then upgrade it to something higher end.
- The built in pre-amp sounds great no real problems there.
- Piano recordings are physically painful to listen on this.
- Original quality was strong but the preamp quality is poor at best.

What customers say about "Features"
Fluance RT81 High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player with Dual Magnet Cartridge
- The wood finish looks fantastic, while I know its not real wood it's really high quality faux material.
- Btw, it’s my first turntable and it was EASY to setup, not hard. If it does, just go on YouTube and there will be tutorial by Fluance.
- Brilliant product, I appreciate having the pre-amp. I purchased this product as I didn't need a USB input for my turntable setup.
- First off, this is a stunningly beautiful turntable. Seriously, the pictures don't do it justice. The fit and finish is top notch.
- The only issue I could think of is that the dust cover creaks and you can hear it through the tone arm when you close it.
