Fluance RT81+ Elite High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player

Got back into vinyl about 5 years ago after buying a cheap turntable (£80 ish new) and i loved it, been thinking long and hard about what to upgrade to for sometime now and decided i'd go with the fluance rt81+ because i wanted the in built pre amp, another upgrade likely in the future but for now this bit of kit is superb, sound is light years ahead of what i've been used to, looks fabulous and set up instructions easy to follow, Maybe 30 mins from opening the box to listening so space oddity. Very impressed with ease of setup and very user friendly & great price.

Having been out of the record game for a couple of decades I wanted a quality turntable without too much expense - this turntable caught my eye as it has some top end features for a reasonable price. The sound is a little top end heavy to begin with but I’d now starting to warm up. Very detailed sound with the VM95e - almost like a digital source. If you’re considering this as one of your choices, you won’t be disappointed!

I feel I have to put pen to paper - in a manner of speaking - and give my view on the Fluance. First off the bat, is its beautiful. It looks amazing. It came very well packaged. So easy to set up. Great videos on the Fluance channel on YT. I was so excited to put on an LP and hear what everyone was raving about. Well, I was not disappointed! This is sensational! I put on my favorite album - YES: Close to the Edge. I was immediately blown away by the detail. After listening to this album for nearly 50 years - I am only 59 - I thought I had heard everything. But, no! I could go on and on about sound, looks, ease of set up....but, suffice to say that this is an absolute bargain at £299. Do not delay, get one today!

After returning the previous unit not working properly and having to wait for my refund i am delighted to say it was worth the wait beautiful looking good soiled built sounds amazing

Beautiful, quality feel and fantastic sound. I have been looking to upgrade my old cheap turntable for a while at around this price. Glad I chose Fluance.

I really like this turntable overall. It was easy to set up, user-friendly, and works great. The only downside is that the dust cover arrived damaged. I purchased it through Amazon Resale in “like new” condition, but there was no mention of this flaw. The damage is noticeable, though it doesn’t affect the use (at least for now), so I’ll keep it. Aside from that, the Fluance RT81+ feels like a solid choice for anyone just getting into vinyl. There are more advanced turntables out there, but this one is definitely a great place to start.

Having recently returned to vinyl, I'd been looking for a decent turntable. Came across this, great reviews and at a sensible price. So far delighted with it, very well made, with good components, it arrived well packaged and in good time. Easy to set up. Overall very happy with the purchase

This turntable is totally manual. It has a setting to turn off when the record has finished, but the arm does not lift off. I also had a problem with feedback because the turntable was fighting with my system. There is a small switch at the back that turns it to phono now works perfectly..For the price, this is probably the best turntable I have ever had. The sound is amazing. I have a lot of records, some very old (like me) and this has brought life to many of them. It is also a really nice looking piece of kit, so smart and so good for a home system. I have to say I am very pleased with this product.
