Our entire team is dedicated to producing products that deliver exceptional audio performance while offering an extraordinary customer experience. Our Turntables play traditional LP and EP vinyl records with stunning sound quality that achieves the purest analog sound reproduction. Our Powered Speakers provide room-filling sound in any home audio setup, from turntables to TVs to Bluetooth music streaming. Complete your cinema experience with our Surround Sound Speaker Systems. Fluance was founded in 1999 in Canada with the goal of recreating audio performances the way the artist intended. We expanded the audio line-up to include Powered Speakers and HiFi turntables. We develop high performance drive units for our speakers, cutting edge isolation materials and technologies for our turntables, and hand crafted wood cabinets and plinths for a warm natural sound. We want audio enthusiasts to enjoy an immersive cinema experience and lively music performance right in their homes. The Reference turntable continues our mission to deliver a warm, uncompressed listening experience that commands your attention, allowing you to get lost in the music. The OM 10’s elliptical diamond’s facets elegantly trace the grooves of a record’s surface resulting in precise and accurate playback while having a flat frequency response for a natural sound without any coloration. The precision 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 at 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 at every play. The mass-loaded multi-layered MDF wood chassis inhibits the transfer of unwanted resonance through the system. The 3 rubber, spike-type height-adjustable isolation feet minimize surface contact under the turntable resulting in immunity to environmental vibrations, allowing for greater low frequency signal pickup and improved imaging. Caress your records with the balanced S-shaped tonearm for accurate tracking of the record groove with no electronics in the signal path from the stylus tip to the gold-plated RCA outputs for a pure, exceptionally detailed sound. 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. The perfect complement to any audiophile’s lifestyle, you’ll be enjoying live performances in your home for years to come.

If you get active speakers you do not need a receiver. Active speakers would need to be plugged into an outlet. Passive speakers plug into an amp or receiver. **Q: If i add an ortofon red to this rt82 then it will be exactly the same as an rt83. is that correct? no other differences at all?** A: The Ortophon OM 10 cartridge turns out to be pretty good. I am not sure you will be able to tell the difference upgrading to the RED. There are other cartridges in the $150 to $200 range that would be a better choice. Talk to the experts and given the genre of music you like get some recommendations. **Q: Does it have Bluetooth capabilities?** A: No this is abasic high quality turntable it does not have a pre amp or Bluetooth capability. You can always use a pre amp with Bluetooth if you need bluetooth. **Q: Do you need to manualy adjust the belt to play 45s?** A: no adjustment to the belt needed. only move the knob from 33 to 45. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ RT82 .. why did I wait so long to buy this? *by on Reviewed in the United States April 3, 2025* I recently resurrected my stereo stack after too many years, and found that my turntable had given up the ghost. Enter the Fluance RT82. I did a lot of research before deciding on the RT82.Great decision! This is a superb choice for someone entering (or reentering) the vinyl world.As the entry point to Fluance's Reference line of turntables, the RT82 has the same motor, plinth, tonearm, and the internals of their higher end RT85. It's silent, stable, and well engineered. And beautiful.The RT82's cartridge is an Ortofon OM10, an excellent midrange one with a rich sound and light set on the record. The steel platter gives nice weight and stability; the RT82 comes with a quality rubber mat that grips the record and minimizes noise and static. I mention the cartridge, platter, and mat, because you can upgrade those later if you wish. If you do that, you have the highest end RT85! I don't plan on doing that as I like the sound and performance of the RT82 right out of the box, but it's nice to have an upgrade path.Set up was relatively easy. You do have to place the plater, hook up the belt, install the cartridge head, and balance the tonearm. That's standard for a higher end turntable. I've done this sort of set up before and this was the easiest that I remember. Fluance has simple to read and follow instructions; lots of videos to do it are on YouTube. You can contact Fluance if you have an issue. Just be patient .. you can do it.The RT82 is easily a 5 star purchase. Good price, terrific quality and build, and excellent sound. I'm enjoying the heck out of this purchase. Why did I wait so long? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unbelievable Value, My TT For Life! *by on Reviewed in the United States February 10, 2025* I bought this as an upgrade from my Audio-Technica LP70X, which was my first turntable. This was my first foray into a more manual experience, and I am so incredibly glad I chose this one.Setup was easy, mostly because I watched a ton of videos on this before the thing even arrived, but the instructions were still easy to follow. I had it up and running in about 15 minutes.Now, for my system, I’m running this through a Fluance Phono Preamp and into a Yamaha RXV4A driving a pair of Kanto YU 5.25 speakers.The Fluance Preamp was a new addition to replace a cheaper Fosi Audio preamp. I have the Yamaha lightly equalized just to bring down the lows a bit because the Kantos are fairly bass heavy in lower volumes.I posted a short video to the turntables subreddit and got a lot of both praise in my choice and recommendations for further upgrades. Further upgrades? FURTHER UPGRADES? I can’t imagine upgrading any further. I’m so unbelievably satisfied with this setup and the sound of this turntable that I can’t honestly imagine it sounding any better.The heft and quality of the turntable are beyond what I expected, the autostop feature is great for my ADHD brain because I like to clean while my record is playing and I’ll get so focused I forget to stop the record when the music ends, and the simplicity of the Fluance preamp makes it basically plug and play.The bamboo is beautiful, but it’s hard to match with speakers and furniture. I still prefer the warmth of the wood to a black or white plinth, so I’m quite happy with it.Fluance has earned a customer for life in me. I would have bought their speakers but for the lengthy delivery estimate and the fact that my Kantos sound phenomenal as they are.Now, why this one over the RT81+ or elite or even the RT83? Because the motor and to near mate the same on this as the RT83 and 84, and due to the design, this can be upgraded to be exactly the same spec as the RT85 on a piecemeal basis.For $300, this thing is a steal. It punches so far above its price point that I really don’t know how Fluance turns a profit.I’m one happy audiophile.NOTE: The clicks and pops in the video are not the fault of the turntable or stylus. They are due to the vinyl being quite old and having been played on my grandmother’s old Panasonic with a bad motor and old stylus. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect entry point for getting back into vinyl! *by on Reviewed in the United States December 5, 2022* HUGE upgrade over the Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT I purchased after deciding to flirt with vinyl again. Don't get me wrong... it was that turntable that convinced me to dive back in. Perfectly fine starter BUT it's biggest limitation is you can't change or upgrade the cartridge as you can with Fluance. And it's super easy to do with the removable head shell (LP60 is fixed). You can just buy a premounted cartridge and do nothing more than change the head shell and set the tracking force and anti-skate (easy).In hindsight, RT82 would have been a better choice. Superior in every way, the Ortofon OM 10 cart is a vast sound quality improvement with it's elliptical shape. The sound is much more defined.The isolation feet make it easy to have turntable and speakers on same surface with no fear of cranking up the volume. Balancing the tonearm was a snap. Personally, I like the auto-stop function just fine, but it's not an automatic return. The LP60XBT is fully automatic which I appreciate getting back into it.The RT82 does not have a preamp so you do need to have one or buy an RT81/80 that have an installed preamp. Another option is my set up. I have Klipsch The Fives speakers that are also preamp, amp, BT and more. I didn't love those speakers at first but Klipsch now has an app that allows you to tweak the sound AND I paired with a Klipsch sub... with that... chef's kiss!HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Fluance RT82 to beginners and those on more of a budget. I bought a "used" one on Amazon but ships directly from Fluance... it seemed all perfectly new, but saved me enough to buy "The Stranglers: Peaches". The turntable is the exact same as the 83/84 except the cartridge. If you have the clams, you might just buy the RT85 with the Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge or the Nagaoka MP-110.UPDATE 2/26/23: Got upgrade-itis and fitted the tone arm with an AT VM530EN/H cartridge. Another HUGE step up in sound. Name the fancy audiophile words and, yep, it’s a lot better. The OM10 was fine. The new cart was so much finer! It’s paired with a Pyle PP999 preamp, Aiyma T9 amp (very underrated) and Sony SSCS5 speakers, Klipsch R-12SWi sub. This is a nice sounding setup for getting in. I’m going to upgrade the preamp, just haven’t found the right deal yet! I bought everything on deep sale or box damaged. Turntable 275, amp 80, preamp 13, speakers 66 (regularly see box damage drop under 80), sub at Costco 179, new cart from Ebay 140. Every component was like new… not a sign of use on any of it.The Cheap Audioman on YouTube is a great source of info.UPDATE: Tried many preamps... Fosi Box 2 and 4... I didn't like either. Pro-Ject Phono Box... same. Dull lifeless. Hit something really good and low budget with the ART DJ Pre II though. Big upgrade in sound and really liked the gain and capacitance control. Play with that one because you can dial it in. BUT... I've settled on the iFi Zen Phono. Head and shoulders above those others. Yes, a lot more money... 3x the ART. It really offers a totally different and superior sound output. If you have the money or can save up... I found the iFi Zen to be very, very worth it. On a budget? Can't beat that ART if you ask me. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fluance RT82 Reference High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player with Ortofon OM10 Cartridge, Speed Control Motor, High Mass MDF Wood Plinth, Vibration Isolation Feet - Piano White - ART DJPREII Phono Preamplifier - Monoprice 1.5ft Premium 2 RCA Plug/2 RCA Plug M/M 22AWG Cable - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/336359177-fluance-rt82-reference-high-fidelity-vinyl-turntable-record-player-ortofon](https://www.desertcart.be/products/336359177-fluance-rt82-reference-high-fidelity-vinyl-turntable-record-player-ortofon) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-10-22*
