RT85N Reference High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player with Nagaoka MP-110 Cartridge, Acrylic Platter, Speed Control Motor High Mass MDF Wood Plinth Vibration Isolation Feet - Piano Black

I spent a lot of time deciding which turntable to buy and eventually settled on this one. I really could not be happier with it compared to the turntable it replaced a PS-LX310BT this is a whole other world. This turntable sounds great and for the price it really is great value.

The only reason that I bought this to replace my old Rega P2 turntable, which was also fitted with a Nagoaka MP 110 cartridge was because it has an automatic stop function on the run out and has already proved invaluable.I was not expecting the sound quality to be as good as the Rega but it truly is as good. My grips are that unlike the Rega turntables tone arm clamp and cueing lever that are silver coloured ,the black ones on the Fluance are difficult to see against the black base that I chose. Also difficult to see are the counterweight and anti-skate numbers.I will be marking all of these with a white marker pen.The guarantee will only be recognised from the date of delivery ?. I will be marking these with a white marker also the counterweight and anti scanning control discs

Happy with how it all came together. Love the analogue system music.

After a lot of slight tweaks here and there I finally managed to set it up correctly in tandem with the tube pre amp I bought to play it through and oh my word it's absolutely brilliant.

I decided my old Dual turntable had had it after multiple repairs and attention over the last nearly 40 years. Time for a replacement; something good but not stupid money - I like vinyl and have many lps, but not to the anal level. After some research and a bit of listening I went with the Fluance RT85N. Very simple setup and straight in with something loud, and what a difference/improvement. Next was something quiet and the clarity was amazing. I hesitate to say, but I was like a kid grabbing old records. So far this turntable has just exceeded its stated 20hr break in period so long may this continue. Thoroughly recommended if you want a really great sound but don't want to get into the diminishing returns territory.

I almost wish the sound was less clear as I can hear every tiny scratch on my records!

Took ages looking for a turntable,so pleased l chose this one what a turntable looks amazing sounds amazing so if thinking on a turntable Flauance R85N is the one.

Not a review against Fluance (I love them) but more against Amazon.in this instance. I was upgrading my lower model to the Fluance 85n because I got a great deal on a "like new" product. Everything seems to be great until I began to put it together and noticed the stylus was severely bent. I can only imagine this was either accidentally caused by the person who originally bought it, hence the return or that they intentionay swapped it out and returned, either way this should of been picked up on before being resold. Amazon had no option to have the stylus or cartridge replaced etc only option is to send everything back. I guess this was a case of if it looks to good to be true then it usually is.
