Description
My first turntable, the one the Fluance RT81+ replaced. I've sold it since.
Impressions
I bought this used to see if I would get into the vinyl thing, and I really did. It was very cheap. It isn't fully automatic, you have to put the stylus at the beginning of the record yourself, but it has auto-return, which is super cool.
Playback wasn't great. The platter was often crooked, and the stylus wasn't very good either. The whole thing looks cheap because it's all plastic, the platter included, and the built-in preamp is okay at best.
My main problems were the small feet, which aren't adjustable, and that there's no anti-skate adjustment. It drifts a lot, so records jump and skip every now and then, and it's not great for long listening sessions. Maybe it was a good one when it was new, but not anymore.
Final thoughts
It's fairly priced for what it is, and a good turntable for starters.
