Hi, I'm new here, but I think this is the place that can help me. I recently moved from Metro Chicago to Metro Detroit, and in the process, my old TT got destroyed. I have been using a Dual 1218 with Shure V-15 ERA ii, ERA iii & ERA iv stylii for 50+ years, feeding a Marantz 4430 Receiver...
Hey guys, I could use some help.
I just received a Fluance RT83, outfitted with the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, and an acrylic platter...this was an upgrade from an AudioTechnica LP60X I had for about a year.
I was hoping to hear some reduced distortion/sibilance coming from the LP60X, but I...
First off - Schitt Mani - the reigning affordable preamp champ on the review boards, isn't easily available to me here in Canada. So that one is out I'm afraid - unless you have a line on a retailer in Canada.
I'm a vinyl hobbyist - but no audiophile. My last turntable was an entry level...
Easy setup but the included level and 2 I had were off. 3, made to level tt were off, sad. I used a torpedo level I had that was correct. The 3 leg system works great. Day one I played a bunch of familiar lps with the included OM10. Sounds great, better than my ATlp120usb. I never used the...
I was playing a record on my Fluance turntable with ortofon blue cartridge. The volume was off and I thought the cue lever was up and went to move the needle. Turned out the cue lever was down and so I must have just yanked it out of the groove, possible at more of a sideways angle, while it was...
Good morning,
I've always had a fondness for solid audio equipment and prized myself on being a step above what most people had, but when my AT LP-60 died I decided to start to really look into what I can do to build a nice sound system that isn't centered around my home theater system. It...
Hey y'all,
So I recently just bought my first tube preamp, a Dared SL-2000A, really excited to get it up and running. I set it up the other day with my SS Amp, a Yamaha R-S202...I know it's not a good amp, and I knew before buying this preamp that I might have to change the amp out eventually...
I currently have a Technics sl-J2 which sounds almost fantastic to my ears but I do hear some motor noise when things are real quiet (which isn't all that often). I'm considering upgrading but would hate to spend up to $500 to find little improvement. I am considering the new Fluance RT-85...
While the turntable models Fluance released a couple years ago didn't look amazing (I think the RT80 and RT81), this new round could be good for entry level.

Reported specs are not too bad. While I'm not in the market for this type of 'table, I have some...
Hey everyone, boy has it been awhile since I've poked my head in here! Feels good to be back...
When we last spoke, I was restoring my vintage Pioneer PL-50. To keep the story short, after oodles of help from all of you guys here, fixing, and improving on a few things on my dinky highschool...
Hello AK'ers! A great TT is the holy grail to finish off my setup. I could really use some input on trying to decide which of these turntables to purchase. I'm in Santa Fe and it's hard to find a good deal on hi-qual TT's. I came across a fellow on FB market that has one of each of these TT's...
