Fluance RT82

5 inch powered speakers as well, which they have put together a nice package on their website. We've been big fans of what Fluance is doing there.

That's this. Protect the stylus from touching the platter. Do not allow the stylus to touch the platter

I, for one, do not regret the choice at all to go with the RT-82.

* **Source** \- I'm plugging the headphones into a Fosi Audio TUBE-P2 amp which will be connected to a Rolls VP29 which will be connected to a Fluance RT82. * **Requirements for Isolation** \- I would like to have as much isolation as possible, despite the headphones only really being used indoors. I dislike the idea of the music I'm listening to leaking out. * **Will you be using these Headphones in Public?

I will probably be ordering a replacement, but this first experience was not the greatest. Got it quicker than expected which was nice. Open it up and it was missing the gloves and instructions. Right there I should have known. Got it all setup and read all the instructions on the Company's website ...

It’s definitely not overkill (it’s an entry level turntable) but I don’t think it’s the best you can do for the money. Also that Best Buy exclusive color is a crime against humanity.

The Fluance RT 82 came with the OM 10 cartridge, which I was looking for too. I own a couple of cartridges; Ortofon Concorde MK2, OM Pro S, and Audio-Technica AT-VM95E.

Avoid Klipsch (nothing they sell in this price range is competitive) and avoid all-in-one packages (those are junk).

I am not a music expert and thus I really don't have an objective way to tell you why you should buy the Fluance RT82 over another turntable.

**Gear**: Marantz PM7000N / Fluance RT82 / KEF Q750s. **Sources**: FLAC (Audirvana) / Vinyl / Tidal. Picked up the second half of my new speaker set (don't ask) today and I can't even believe the difference. Previously I was using a pair of ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2, which are fine, but these KEF Q750s are just a whole other league.
