Review on ๐ŸŽถ Fluance RT85 Reference High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge - Piano White by Jamie Rogers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is how vinyl should sound!

By far the best turntable I have ever heard and I have been making music for over 35 years. I replaced the AT LP120USB with this one and it was like going from Hyundai to Cadillac. The sound quality is insane. I have several CBS Master Sound albums that sound like crap on my old turntable. Now they sound like they should (the sound of sizzling bacon is gone). The LP120 also buzzed when not in use. The RT 85 is as quiet as a church mouse. I also noticed that the RT 85 is louder than the LP120. Everything is clear with the Ortofon Blue pickup. Some of my MFSLs sound like the singer is sitting with me in my living room. If your table you have now just won't cut it, get this one and you'll be super happy! Update 12/09/2019: Now that the stylus is worn out, I'm even more impressed. This is the warmest turntable I've ever heard. It improves the soundstage and range so much it just makes your jaw drop. Never buy another brand. Get it, you will be happy. (who wants to buy used bikes)
