- This turntable looks amazing! This is an excellent beginner, and audiophile turntable.
- Like style, quiet running. Wish it was a little more automated, but knew that going in.

What customers say about "Features"
Fluance RT82 Reference High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player with Ortofon OM10 Cartridge
- Outstanding turntable in every way. Impeccable fit and finish, beautiful to look at. Simple minor assembly, well packaged. Great sound.
- The auto-stop feature is another nice feature; just be ready for the platter to turn for a bit before it finally shuts off.
- It's beautiful, smooth and precise! The hinges work very well and support the thick solid lid during use. It is smooth to open and close and keeps dust out.
- This thing sounds absolutely amazing. I've had cheaper belt-driven models and there is no comparison.
- The build quality is excellent and nothing really feels cheap or poorly executed with this turntable.
