With no electronics in the signal path, from stylus tip to the gold-plated RCA outputs, for an exceptionally pure sound. Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge for Spectacular Accuracy Beautiful playback from the nude elliptical 2M Blue cartridge featuring a rich, elegant, and natural sound. Adding greater dynamics and resolution, reproducing more detail while maintaining a flat frequency response for a pure sound without any coloration. Clarity in the Sound with the Acrylic Platter The high density and greater mass of the acrylic provide increased inertia to achieve a consistent speed, while damping unwanted vibrations by trapping and dissipating the energy. Acrylic has an analogous resonant frequency to vinyl records to aid in the cancellation of undesirable reverberations resulting in a 3-dimensional soundstage with improved bass definition, a richer midrange, and greater signal clarity. Precision Playback with Motor Isolation and Speed Control The servo-controlled belt drive motor with speed regulating optical sensor, continuously measures and adjusts variances in linear velocity and acceleration within a few hundredths of a percent for a wow and flutter of 0.07%. The decoupling of the drive from the plinth suppresses motor vibrations and noise from reaching the stylus. This maintains accurate speed and significantly reduces rumble so your records sound perfect. Solid Wood Plinth For Superior Resistance to Vibrations The mass-loaded multi-layered wood chassis inhibits the transfer of unwanted resonance through the system. The 3 rubber, spike-type adjustable isolation feet minimize surface contact under the turntable resulting in immunity to environmental vibrations, for greater low frequency signal pickup and improved imaging. A Passion for Great Audio Fluance has successfully revolutionized home audio. Utilizing only superior components and expert audio engineering, the Fluance Record Players are a testament to the performance that can be achieved when a passion for music takes center stage.

It is easy to set up and delivers excellent sound quality. The Ortofon cartridge certainly plays a significant role, but the overall build is precise and results in superb performance. Highly recommended for audiophiles—far superior to other options such as the Audio-Technica AT-LP120, which has a more basic finish and includes some unnecessary features. Review: Magia a buen precio. - Probablemente el producto más equilibrado y con menos conflictos técnicos en su gama de precio. Muy buen funcionamiento, suave, silencioso, con una buena cápsula MM de origen (Ortofon 2M Blue) y un magnífico acabado. Renovar -mejorando- un veterano Pioneer con 38 años de trabajo en perfectas condiciones de uso y con cápsula PC5 MC no era asunto fácil. Confieso que estoy encantado. Además: es muy bonito; qué quieren que les diga. ## Features - PURE ANALOG PERFORMANCE - The definitive vinyl record listening experience for beautifully warm and natural music, transporting you into the center of the performance - SPECTACULAR MUSICAL ACCURACY - Immerse yourself in the detailed high resolution sound of the Ortofon 2M Blue elliptical cartridge delivering improved linearity, higher channel separation and reduced distortion - HIGH DENSITY ACRYLIC PLATTER - The greater mass of the acrylic platter damps unwanted vibrations resulting in a more 3-dimensional sound with tighter bass, a fuller midrange, and overall improved clarity - SPEED CONTROL FOR PRECISION PLAYBACK - The isolated motor prevents unwanted vibrations and noise while the speed control mechanism ensures consistent platter velocity (0.07% Wow/Flutter) - High Mass MDF Wood Plinth - Revel in the gorgeously crafted cabinet with real wood finish and a highly precise metal platter with adjustable resonance damping feet, ensuring superior isolation from unwanted micro-vibrations (Note: phono preamp not included) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07KKK8ZB4 | | Additional Features | RT85W Turntable, Dust Cover + Hinges, Bubble Level, Headshell with Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge, Counterweight, Acrylic Platter with Belt, 100 - 240 V (50/60Hz) AC Power Adapter, 3ft RCA Cable, 2x 3ft Ground Wire, 45 Adaptor, Motor Pulley Cap, User Manual, Lifetime Customer Support, 2 Year Manufacturer’s Direct Warranty | | Best Sellers Rank | #37,849 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #147 in Home Audio Turntables | | Brand | Fluance | | Built-In Media | RT85 Turntable, Dust Cover + Hinges, Bubble Level, Headshell with Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge, Counterweight, Acrylic Platter with Belt, 100-240V (50/60Hz) AC Power Adapter, 3ft RCA Cable, 2x 3ft Ground Wire, 45 Adaptor, Motor Pulley Cap, Cotton Gloves, User Manual, Lifetime Customer Support, 2 Year Manufacturer's Direct Warranty | | Color | Walnut | | Compatible Devices | Amplifier, AV Receiver, Active Speakers | | Connectivity Technology | RCA | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,822 Reviews | | Cycles | Belt Motor | | Enclosure Material | Wood Engineered Wood Plastic | | Included components | RT85 Turntable, Dust Cover + Hinges, Bubble Level, Headshell with Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge, Counterweight, Acrylic Platter with Belt, 100-240V (50/60Hz) AC Power Adapter, 3ft RCA Cable, 2x 3ft Ground Wire, 45 Adaptor, Motor Pulley Cap, Cotton Gloves, User Manual, Lifetime Customer Support, 2 Year Manufacturer's Direct Warranty Included components RT85 Turntable, Dust Cover + Hinges, Bubble Level, Headshell with Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge, Counterweight, Acrylic Platter with Belt, 100-240V (50/60Hz) AC Power Adapter, 3ft RCA Cable, 2x 3ft Ground Wire, 45 Adaptor, Motor Pulley Cap, Cotton Gloves, User Manual, Lifetime Customer Support, 2 Year Manufacturer's Direct Warranty See more | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 34.9L x 41.9W x 14H centimeters | | Item Weight | 16.76 Pounds | | Item weight | 16.76 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Fluance | | Material | Wood Engineered Wood Plastic | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 45 RPM | | Maximum rotational speed | 45 RPM | | Mfr Part Number | RT85W | | Model Name | RT85 | | Model Number | RT85W | | Power Consumption | 300 Watts | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Signal Format | Analog | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 60 dB | | Special features | RT85W Turntable, Dust Cover + Hinges, Bubble Level, Headshell with Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge, Counterweight, Acrylic Platter with Belt, 100 - 240 V (50/60Hz) AC Power Adapter, 3ft RCA Cable, 2x 3ft Ground Wire, 45 Adaptor, Motor Pulley Cap, User Manual, Lifetime Customer Support, 2 Year Manufacturer’s Direct Warranty Special features RT85W Turntable, Dust Cover + Hinges, Bubble Level, Headshell with Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge, Counterweight, Acrylic Platter with Belt, 100 - 240 V (50/60Hz) AC Power Adapter, 3ft RCA Cable, 2x 3ft Ground Wire, 45 Adaptor, Motor Pulley Cap, User Manual, Lifetime Customer Support, 2 Year Manufacturer’s Direct Warranty See more | | Style Name | Modern | | UPC | 061783270523 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 240.0 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Fluance - **Material:** Wood Engineered Wood Plastic - **Maximum rotational speed:** 45 RPM ## Images ![Fluance RT85 Reference High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player, Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge, Acrylic Platter, Speed Control Motor, MDF Wood Plinth, Vibration Isolation Feet - Walnut (Plug Type C) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Z1G0EOh4L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Full auto?** A: I have the RT85 and Yes, it has auto stop. There is a switch on the back of the turntable so you can choose auto stop or just let the album keep spinning when the stylus reaches the inner groove. This is really cool for the handful of albums that have something in the inner groove. A few examples are- The Beatles Sgt Pepper, Side 4 of The Eagles live, Ringo The 4th. They just keep going... **Q: What is the size of the box (package) from RT85?** A: According to Fluance, the shipping dimensions for the RT85 are 8.25 x 17.5 x 19.5 inches (H x L x W). The weight is 20 lbs. **Q: What is the difference between fluance rt84 and fluance rt85?** A: I am confused by some of the responses as from my research, the RT84 is about $115 less, not $50, and BOTH TTs have the Ortofon Blue, which is really hard to believe with the Fluance RT84 being under 385 bux!!!! That is even less than the renowned Pro-Ject Debut Carbon with the much less expensive (but also great) Ortofon Red cartridge. The only difference I can see is the heavier Acrylic platter on the 85 versus aluminum on the 84, and thus about a 2 pound weight difference on the two TTs. Maybe that is worth the extra $115 bux that I am seeing in the pricing right now, don't know. Definitely a good upgrade tho. **Q: I have to downgrade my stylist to a ortofon 10. do i need a different cartridge? like a ortofon super i’m** A: if you can, stay with the blue or red is $$ is an issue, I am in awe of the quality it brings to the playback, when I get some $$$ i'll upgrade the uplevel black (or better) stylus, again, very impressed with the Ortofon line ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best quality for the buck spent! *by E***A on 3 January 2026* I’m absolutely satisfied with this purchase; this turntable offers outstanding value for money.
