Now, the 1200 is another league than this unit in virtually every way but if you’re looking for a player with a “hi fi” sound output and good overall build quality to pair with some decent book shelf or home speakers then look no further. This player will get the job done admirably. Now, if you’re in a studio or have a high fidelity sound system then look for a used technics 1200 and a good phono preamp as it will certainly be better. For the price, I think it’s fair. It would be a steal if it were $50 cheaper but even at $299 it’s reasonably priced. Highlights: the cartridge is good, much better than anything you’ll find on a suitcase or combo record player. The cartridge is also upgradable should you desire. The tone arm is metal. The feet do a decent job at isolating noise. Controls are not over designed. Set up was simple. Counter weight and anti skate options help dial in a consistent experience. It’s pleasing to look at with a clean, smooth, and shiny finish. Very good sound quality. What could be better: it’s belt driven instead of direct driven, which can be expected at this price point given the other features. The 45 adapter is a simple plastic piece, it’d be nice if it were metal and/or the player had a recess to store it in. The rca cord in the box is maybe 6 ft which is okay but also limiting at the same time. A track light would really set it apart for use in a dim room. Things to know: it needs to be grounded, unlike the budget players you’ll find. This improves sound quality but it is something to be prepared for. Speeds are 33/45, no 78 option while although uncommon it’s something to keep in mind based on your collection. Overall it’s a quality player and a healthy step up over the entry level players. Would recommend. Review: Excellent intermediate turntable. - Had been looking at these turntables for quite some time to upgrade from my very serviceable u-dreamer I bought during COVID. Saw the rt-81+ as a new product (was looking at rt-81) and in a rare occurrence, it was on sale which made it lower in price than the "regular" rt81. Some things to know. 1) These turntables are not exactly plug and play. You have to put the belt on, put on and adjust the counterweight, set the anti-skid and screw in the stylus cartridge. All very easy, probably takes 15 minutes of set up. Take your time, and read directions 2) This turntable feels and looks like high quality. This will be a definite upgrade if you are using a suitcase model or similar. 3) You need to have your own speakers. Spend a couple extra dollars, you will not be sorry. Hooking up speakers is super easy. 4) You will notice a definite high sound quality, even on older albums. (a note however, the stylus will pick up imperfections on older albums or albums pressed poorly) I have some albums over 50 years old and they sound great. 5) This turntable comes with an auto stop spinning when an album is over. Use this feature to pro-long the life of your stylus. It is not an automatic turntable however, you do have to move the tone arm manually. 6) Is it worth the extra $50 you will pay (normally) over the rt-81? I dont know. Looks like the upgrades on this plus model is the better stylus, a better sound dampening slip for the platter and adjustable feet in case what it sits on is not totally level. (even comes with a tiny bubble level) I have only had the turntable a week, so far am very happy with it. The sound quality and just the look of it is great. Hopefully it will be good for the long haul, as I don't see myself needing any higher quality, (although you can purchase an even better stylus when the time comes, this turntable is completely upgradeable.) For someone who just enjoys some quiet time listening to albums on the weekend, this is the perfect turntable. Fits very well in my office just looks and sounds classy. ## Features - PURE ANALOG LISTENING EXPERIENCE - Premium components allow this high-fidelity belt driven turntable to recreate the performance the way the artist intended - SUPERIOR VIBRATION ISOLATION - Three adjustable isolation feet, an acrylic mat with similar resonant frequency to vinyl, and a dampened aluminum anti-resonant platter, resulting in improved frequency response, enhanced imaging, and greater signal clarity - HIGH PERFORMANCE CARTRIDGE -The next generation Audio Technica VM95E, featuring a diamond elliptical stylus, VM series upgradability, and greater frequency response, is mounted on a removable head shell for easier cartridge swapping - HIGH MASS ENGINEERED PLINTH - The gorgeously finished cabinet is crafted from solid engineered (MDF) wood which results in superior isolation from unwanted vibrations - CAPTIVATING SIGNAL CLARITY - Featuring a built-in Texas Instruments phono preamp, gold-plated RCA connections, and a ground terminal that deliver warm, and true sound ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0C8ZJ5KZK | | Additional Features | RT81P Turntable, Dust Cover, 2x Dust Cover Hinges, Headshell with Audio Technica VM95E Cartridge, Counterweight (PFHTCW), Aluminum Anti-Resonant Platter, Acrylic Platter Mat, Rubber Belt, 45 Adapter, Bubble Level, 3ft RCA Cable With Ground Wire (PFHTCA), 5ft 100V -

Heavy but easy to level even comes with a small bubble level. Sounds great, wouldn’t recommend the included pre amp because I have my own. Easy to use for a manual turntable. Affordable “entry level” turntable. Writing this review only after a week will update if something changes. Auto stop still works if you have a weight on the spindle. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fluance RT81+ Elite High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player, Audio Technica VM95E Cartridge, Anti-Resonant Platter, Acrylic Mat, Phono Preamp, Wood Plinth, Adjustable Isolation Feet - Piano White - Fluance Ai41 Powered 2-Way 2.0 Stereo Bookshelf Speakers with 5" Drivers, 90W Amplifier for Turntable, TV, PC and Bluetooth 5 Wireless Music Streaming with RCA, Optical & Subwoofer Out (Lucky Bamboo) - Fluance Vinyl Record & Stylus Cleaning Kit with 2-in-1 Anti-Static Carbon Fiber & Soft Velvet LP Brush and Stylus Brush (VB52) --- ## 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.hr/products/539555398-fluance-rt81-elite-high-fidelity-vinyl-turntable-record-player](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/539555398-fluance-rt81-elite-high-fidelity-vinyl-turntable-record-player) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
