 Turntable is a Fluance RT85 with an Ortofon 2m Bronze. Everything is running out to Paradigm 3/4 speakers and sounds great for my needs.

New user, posting my setup. I'm not a dealer, just a long time vinyl collector. Let me know if anyone has questions or comments on my setup. I've got a weekly YouTube channel but I thought I'd start out by sharing my setup first :)

In the end, I decided on the Fluance RT85 because of a couple of items. I was looking to start a bit cheaper, but the Blue 2M cartridge that came on the Fluance was the deciding factor and I am so glad I went this route. The other reasons were the acrylic platter and the physical switch for the 33/45 instead of having to switch the belt like in many similar priced turntables.

So, I am here to confess that after a lot of back and forth, I am pretty confident that I'm going with a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO. I'd like to credit u/sharkamino for all of his help. I did some more research and digging. 

I need to get to my local HiFi store. They're basically down to the P1 and the Evo. 

Now, I'm moving on to pre-amps/integrated receivers. 

Down the rabbit hole I go!

Turntable decision

The best bargain at this price is the Fluance RT85. It comes with an Ortofon 2M Blue, which has a superior stylus compared to what’s on any of these others (nude tip rather than bonded).

I seem to alway find myself in this position when I go and try and buy something I save up for, I save for one thing but once I have the money I find 10 other different options I want. I have about $500 and I’m trying to buy a new turntable. I was saving for the pro- ject debut carbon evo, and I was dead set. 

But then I was playing with an AT-LPW50PB and I thought it was pretty good and I could save some money buying this for a preamp. I’ve heard the motors on these could be a little noisy but I didn’t hear anything with the one I was using. 

You gotta understand I’m coming from an lp60 and I’m still pretty new to this. I’d really
Appreciate some feedback and suggestions you might have in the $500 area.  I’m also very open to vintage suggestions

The agony of trying to buy something new

 There's a lot of slack in the lever, it bounces the arm if you lift it too quickly and the tonearm safety latch feels like its going to break off every time I use it.  My last turntable was a Pro-ject Essential III and even though the body of this Fluance is much more substantial, the entire experience of lowering the needle with the tonearm lever on the Pro-ject was more solid and satisfying, whereas the RT85 feels flimsy and crappy.  The Ortofon 2m Blue looks cool, but to be honest, for a $250 cartridge it doesn't really sound much better to me than the OM10 on my Pro-ject, which didn't sound much better to me than the ADC QLM32 Mrk III on my Hitachi HT-324 from the 80s. I told you I'm not an audiophile

I told you I'm not an audiophile.  Aside from the whole tonearm mess, I still think this is an okay turntable. Not worth $500 in my opinion, but one man's trash may be another man's treasure

I am not an audiophile, just a guy who likes to listen to records. I bought the white Fluance RT85 because of the positive reviews and because it looked cool with its acrylic platter, etc. I have owned many different turntables and record players over the years, but this one is the most expensive.  Overall it's an okay turntable, but that's probably as far as I would go with it

 Colored vinyl really pops on the white, though the visual aesthetic proves more impressive than actually using it.  The entire tonearm mechanism feels super cheap. The tonearm lever, stand and safety latch actually feels like something you'd find on a cheapo plastic portable record player like a Crosley. Maybe I got a bad one, but that's my honest opinion

It's Okay Although The Entire Tonearm Mechanism Feels Cheap

 The three rubber isolation feet are easy to adjust and have kept the plinth true. The solid acrylic platter adds a sense of heft and sturdiness. I always use a platter weight as well and the FLUANCE offering does a fine job. The smoked acrylic dust cover is what you'd expect

 The hype is real, as is the delivery of beautiful sound reproduction. I appreciate some of the details in the design such as being able to lock the "S" shaped tone arm in its cradle even if the stylus lever is in the raised position.

 The new Bamboo veneer, (Available as of May 22, 2021) is matte, clean and elegant which provides a nice contrast amid the brown, black and silver quagmire of modern Hi-Fi.

I appreciate some of the details in the design such as being able to lock the "S" shaped tone arm in its cradle even if the stylus lever is in the raised position

First things first, the sound quality is a substantial upgrade from the RT82 by FLUANCE that I had purchased only a year prior. In fact it's the best sounding turntable for beginners I've ever heard. Not that I've traveled the world in search of turntable nirvana mind you. However I've seen my fair share amongst others in this price category and I'm highly impressed by the RT85's Value For Money

r/turntables

 The Music Hall Classic is designed to appeal to a wide range of vinyl enthusiasts, with sound quality you would expect to find in most high-end turntables, but at an entry-level to mid-level price point. As you can see, it has a nostalgic or classic look, with its dark walnut veneer finish, with an additional nod to the record players of the past, in that it's a semi-automatic belt-driven turntable. For those who are unfamiliar with what semi-automatic means, when the record reaches its end, the tone armor will lift automatically, and the platter will stop spinning. This is a great feature if you're new to vinyl, as it will prolong the life of your needles

 Okay, now that we have everything set up, let's get some sound out of this turntable. First we want to install audio cables here, red for red, white for white, and then the ground wire. There we go. Next we're going to need some power, so you take the DC cable, just install that, and press this button to power it on

 Once you carefully remove it and all its components from the package, this is what you have left. Alright, so the first thing you want to do is take the turntable platter and set it very carefully on the spindle. And you want to have this window right here exposed to the motor there, so we can attach the belt. Okay, now Music Hall makes things nice and easy here, they provide this little piece of fabric here so you can very gently wrap it around the motor

 While this feature is common in many entry-level turntables, what makes the Classic unique is that the phono amp can be turned off. By making the phono amp bypassable, you have the option of using any amp you may already have, or easily upgrade it if so desired. Music Hall has done everything it can to make the Classic as plug-and-play as possible. They provide everything you need for a basic setup, including their Spirit cartridge, which has been pre-mounted and precision aligned

Music Hall Classic Review and Set Up

 Inspired by the past, looking to the future, we're checking out Music Hall's Classic, next on Hi-Def Lifestyle.

 Hi, I'm Lame with Hi-Def Lifestyle. If you're in the market for a quality straight out of the box turntable, then look no further than the Music Hall Classic.

 Now, don't let the name fool you, while it takes its styling cues from the past, its construction is packed with today's modern tech.

 The Music Hall Classic is designed to appeal to a wide range of vinyl enthusiasts, with sound quality you would expect to find in most high-end turntables, but at an entry-level to mid-level price point.

 For those who are unfamiliar with what semi-automatic means, when the record reaches its end, the tone armor will lift automatically, and the platter will stop spinning.

 This is a great feature if you're new to vinyl, as it will prolong the life of your needles.

 The Classic is probably one of the most integratable turntables out there today. It features a built-in phono pre-amplifier, making it easy to connect directly to most current systems.

 While this feature is common in many entry-level turntables, what makes the Classic unique is that the phono amp can be turned off.

 By making the phono amp bypassable, you have the option of using any amp you may already have, or easily upgrade it if so desired.

 Music Hall has done everything it can to make the Classic as plug-and-play as possible.

 They provide everything you need for a basic setup, including their Spirit cartridge, which has been pre-mounted and precision aligned.

 Also included are adjustable vibration dampening feet, Uni Pivot tone arm, aluminum platter with felt mat, and a removable dust cover.

 Alright, I've told you about the Classic, now it's time to show you how to set it up.

 Once you carefully remove it and all its components from the package, this is what you have left.

 Alright, so the first thing you want to do is take the turntable platter and set it very carefully on the spindle.

 And you want to have this window right here exposed to the motor there, so we can attach the belt.

 Okay, now Music Hall makes things nice and easy here, they provide this little piece of fabric here so you can very gently wrap it around the motor.

 Yep, make sure it spins freely and we're good to go.

 Okay, once you're sure everything's moving easily, take the platter mat and put that on top of the platter.

 As I mentioned before, Music Hall provides their Spirit cartridge already pre-mounted.

 So we're just going to carefully take the shell head, insert it, and then counter-clockwise to tighten it up.

 Next we want to install the counterweight onto the tone arm.

 Just going to slide it on and then lightly twist it until you reach this white line.

 That will give you an effective tracking force of 2.0 grams.

 After the counterweight is set, now it's time to adjust the anti-skate.
