    Help selecting new TT

    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...

    Fluance RT83/Ortofon 2M Red sibilance/distortion

    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...

    Affordable phono preamp suggestions

    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...

    First impression Fluance rt82

    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...

    Stylus mishap! Yikes!

    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...

    Intro

    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...

    Dared SL-2000A w/ SS Amp Help

    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...

    Question for Technics Linear owners and former owners.

    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...

    New round of turntables from Fluance

    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. https://www.fluance.com/turntables Reported specs are not too bad. While I'm not in the market for this type of 'table, I have some...

    B&O Beogram 2402 vs. Fluance RT81

    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...
