Classic High Fidelity Turntable plays traditional LP & EP vinyl records with stunning quality that achieves the purest sound reproduction. Pull out your favorite 33 1/3 or 45 RPM records, hook up your sound system, drop the needle, and immerse yourself in the RT80 Record Player.
Superior Stylus Makes for a Pure Analog Listening Experience
Your music will sound richer when the Audio Technica AT91 Stylus rests in the grooves of your favorite vinyl record at a mere 2.0 grams of tracking force. The included conical stylus is renowned for its freedom from noise and distortion, clarity on musical peaks, and channel balance.
Smooth Playback Ideal for Long Listening Sessions
You'll experience every note thanks to the balanced and adjustable counterweight of the S-Type tonearm. The fluid movement of the bearings within the tonearm coupled with the advanced anti-skating system practically caresses your record, preventing scratching and ensuring the stylus is perfectly rested deep in your record’s groove while splendidly coaxing the music out of your vinyl.
Designed for Serious Performance
The crafted wood cabinet reduces vibrations to ensure the stylus provides all of the signal. Sound isolation feet & an aluminum platter significantly reduce reverberation, leaving you with pure stereophonic sound.
Premium Components
Captivating signal clarity is produced with features like gold plated RCA line outputs, high quality Texas Instruments preamp, and a grounding terminal that ensures high fidelity sound in its truest form.

Very easy to put together. only thing i didnt like is how the lid had to be put on. the hinges felt a bit stiff and almost as if they were going to break the plastic lid.

When my 40+ year old turntable died, I started looking for a new one that fitted my needs and budget. While some less expensive turntable interested me at first, this one really caught my eye.The reviews on it from Amazon and other sites are correct.Great quality of build, great sound and style.The attached AT91 cartridge is quite good, and the fact that the turntable can be upgraded with just about any 17mm high cartridge. That gives you quite a choice of better cartridges in the future.Not sure about the pre-amp, but reviews give it high marks as I have mine connected to my Onyko T-8220 receiver and using the phono amp in it. The resulting sound is fantastic.Turntable is heavy, about 12 pounds or 5.5 kg. Not as heavy as some but solid enough to not bounce around with the sound.The Piano Black MDF is beautiful to look at and strangely doesn't show finger prints as much as one would think.The build is solid from the feet which should deaden a lot of vibration, to the solid aluminum tone arm and to the nice smokey tinted dust cover.While the lowest priced and more entry level turntable in the Fluance line, it seems to have had the same amount of care and craftsmanship as the highest in the line.Oh, take your time in setting it up, from balancing the tonearm to giving it it's recommended 24 burn in. Both will make a great difference to the better in your music enjoyment.

As an audiophile who has worked on turntables for decades, I think that gives me some credibility to review this and the Fluance line of tables. First, I already have the RT85 (their top of the line table) and love it. I ordered this one (the RT80 ) as a second table for a garage setup. Here is what you need to know.The models are almost identical in build with the main differences being cartridge supplied for each and at the top of the line, acrylic platter and the other models with a rubber mat vs the felt mat for this modelFirst things first, you will want to toss the felt mat and go with rubber. Felt means static charge, not good for turntables. YOu dont need the acrylic platter but it is more inert. Here is the link to the Fliuance rubber mat - $20https://www.amazon.com/Fluance-Turntable-Platter-Rubber-Black/dp/B01JSWK3FC/ref=pd_bxgy_sccl_1/138-0325850-7546427?pd_rd_w=MGQ2v&content-id=amzn1.sym.c5d38d29-85f1-4890-b060-e1fa7ed665b7&pf_rd_p=c5d38d29-85f1-4890-b060-e1fa7ed665b7&pf_rd_r=Y0CAGHMZWCG3KX01BP9R&pd_rd_wg=kek16&pd_rd_r=40123bef-74cc-43ca-aabd-11203c373115&pd_rd_i=B01JSWK3FC&psc=1Now the cartirdges. My RT85 came with an expensive (relative) Ortofon blue which sounds awesome yet; never been a fan. I put my AT 440ML on it and it is amazing - The Ortofon is going to go on THIS table over the AT91 it comes with. So what should you do ?The AT91 is a good solid budget cartridge but very very low end .I highly recommend upgrading to a more robust Audio Technica (you can even get them premointed as the headshells just screw on and off)For $195 you can get the Audio-Technica AT-VM95ML/H with headshell which would be superb on this table but if thats over your budget (would put total table, mat and cart cost at $421), you can go with the AT 95E/H - Link here for $99 with headshellhttps://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT-VM95E-Turntable-Headshell-Cartridge/dp/B07JLX1JZ7/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1CI5RUPWZ172M&keywords=audio%2Btechnica%2Bcartridges&qid=1681264812&sprefix=audio%2Btechinica%2B%2Caps%2C176&sr=8-3&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.18ed3cb5-28d5-4975-8bc7-93deae8f9840&th=1So why upgrade ? Well, the Cartridge is going to make a MAJOR difference. Or just move to the RT81 and you get the mat and better cart.In summary, what I am saying is the table is pretty awesome and if like me, you HAVE better carts, you can go budget and self upgrade. Thats the beauty of this table. I could literally put a $500 cart on it and it would perform like a $1500 table. Speed is spot on, auto stop is flawless.Good luck and enjoy your vinyl

I bought this turntable on June 18, 2018 and it has been a great source of music and sound. It had worked wonderfully and it was easy to setup and I bought 2 Edifier speakers to go with it and have enjoyed the music and the turntable immensely. I did buy a rubber turntable mat separately just because people said it was better and everything is 100 % perfect. You put the needle on the record and when it comes to the end of the record the record will spin twice and the turntable shuts down till you lift the needle up to turn the record over, it does not have auto return but that does not bother me where it shuts down at the end of the record. The sound is good and the tracking is great. Works fantastic and you are getting a quality player at a good price. Would definitely by this project again. If when putting the record arm together you don’t feel confident Fluance has step by step instructions on You Tube and I followed them just to make sure I did it right and work perfect. I have used this player 4 years and an excellent product, 5 stars.

I've got a bit of a story to tell about this record player, but for those needing a quick "is this any good?" the answer is "Oh yes, this record player is great."So my parents had been holding onto all these old vinyl records from the 60's, 70's, and 80's. Mostly Beatles and Elton John LPs, and a handful of other stuff, as well as a few 45s. Also, they had a little Sony stereo that had L/R channel RCA input, so all they were missing was a turntable. I spent some time (almost 6 months) searching for the best turntable in my price range (~$200 to ~$300) that had stereo RCA output, a clam shell cover, and multiple speed settings. I discovered a lot of trash, and learned to avoid Bluetooth, integrated speakers, portable record players, and other unnecessary gimmicks. However, removing those aforementioned gimmicks left me with record players as expensive as $1000 or more, so i cut out the need for multiple speeds and voila, Fluance RT80 Turntable appeared. Which, strangely, has 2 speed functions! I bought it and got it delivered just in time for Christmas. Now, I'm a 20-something, never even handled a vinyl record before. So when I did all the set up and breaking in, I had to learn a ton of stuff, and it was nice to connect to my parents with something they cared a lot about growing up. Then, the time came to unveil this thing, and was very surprised by my parents love of this machine. Remember, they grew up in the 60's, graduated highschool in 75, and went to college in the 80's. They really now record players, and the quality of sound blew them away. They remarked about the lack of static, lack of needle bump, the auto stop feature, and even the mere fact that they could hear it in crystal-clear stereo. It's being used for hours everyday with no problems, and the sound quality just gets better and better, as we try and listen to all these records that hadn't been played in decades.Now, to talk more about the turntable itself. Its not to heavy, easy to move around, but it has enough weight that it feels good. There is some assembly required, but the instructions walk you through it. Also, you need to "burn in" the record player for 24 hours before you really set it up, it helps get everything settled in from shipping. The turntable is glossy black, with a clear black-smoked plastic clam shell that covers the entire top of the machine. It has a built in amplifier, which can be turned off if need be. It has 2 speed setting, 33.5 and 45 rpm, an auto stop feature, and an anti-skate control. The tone arm needs to be balanced before use, and is a rather precision instrument. the drive is very quiet, and operation is very smooth. Everything from putting the tone-arm down to setting the speed is as easy as easy gets, and, just to reiterate, smooth. the only real "demerits" are that the supplied cord are rather short, the auto-stop doesn't always work, and that they only painted the top part of the metal plate the record sits on.All in all, at the time of this posting (2/2/2019) this turntable is an absolute joy, 10/10, would buy again.

Good quality; great price. Contemporary look with the gloss black design, really good sound unless the bass is high then you get that classic turntable howl of the low frequencies traveling through the pedestal into the stylus. I remember that problem with turntables way back when, but can't judge whether it's more or less a problem with this unit. I dealt with it by adjusting my sub-woofer away from the stereo stand. Some assembly (adding and calibrating the counterweight, installing stylus head) but easy instructions. Amazingly fast delivery in a well protected package. It has an 'auto stop': turntable stops spinning when it gets to the end of the record, but it does not send the arm back to the rest position. I have a couple 45s: because the needle travels further into the centre, the auto stop actually shuts down the song! This is easily fixed by flipping a switch to turn off the auto stop. I was surprised that there wasn't a rubber mat supplied, instead a thin felt cloth that the record rests on. Doesn't seem to make any difference though; works fine.
