Review on 🎵 Fluance RT81 Elite High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable with AT95E Cartridge - Walnut by Tyler Owens

I really wanted to love this turntable, really really loved it. The turntable itself was stunning. The first turntable I received had to be returned due to RPM issues. Even following the recommended guides I still couldn't get the RPMs down to an acceptable level, on the 33 1/3 I could only get it down to 49.9 RPM and on the 45 I could only get it to an acceptable level at a whopping 86, 6 RPM. I realized that not all products can be perfect so returned to Revain for a refund. After returning it, I ordered a second one. The second platter was just as nice, unfortunately it suffered from the same problems, only this time I was able to get 33 1/3 rpm from 57.7 (starting) rpm to 49.6 and at a 45 rpm setting/ min from 85.6 (initial revolutions) ). ) up to 59.8 rpm. To say my heart was broken is an understatement. As I mentioned before, I really wanted to love this player. Absolutely stunning in its simplicity, but the RPM problem was just too big. I don't like giving bad reviews, but I can't in good conscience give positive ones. Like I said to CSR, it's like having a motorless Ferrari in my driveway; Nice to look at, but what's the use if it doesn't work?
