## Description

Product Description Pure Analog Performance 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. Ortofon OM 10 Cartridge for Exceptional Musical Accuracy 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. Precision Playback with Motor Isolation and Speed Control 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. 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 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. Spectacular Signal Clarity 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. 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. The perfect complement to any audiophile’s lifestyle, you’ll be enjoying live performances in your home for years to come.

Review: Superb Turntable - This is a superb turntable, after some deliberation I decided to upgrade my Fluance RT 80, and after comparing other decks from other HI FI companies decided on the RT82 based on current reviews, this is a solid and outstanding piece of kit for the price, bass, mid range and treble are spot on, and the channel separation is excellent with the Ortofon OM10 cartridge,the finish of the deck is 1st class, everything is finished to a very high standard and sounds great. I also purchased the isolation plinth to compliment it, again it was finished to the high standards Fluance is renowned for, if you are looking for a great turntable at a great price, look no further, you will not be disappointed, 5 Stars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Fluance reference high fidelity  turntable - how do i link this up with my amplifier?**
A: Depending on what cartridge is fitted to this the output will be about 2 to 4 milli- volts. Most ceramic and ie crystal cartridges deliver about 250 to 500 milli volts they are HIGH impedance cartridges and DON'T require a preamp. The cartridge fitted to your turntable as supplied with it, WILL need a PHONO pre amp. The RCA connector cable plugs into the back of the Fluance turntable and then into 1) The PHONO magnetic INPUT on your amplifier OR if you have NO PHONO input on the amp you must buy a 2) PHONO magnetic cartridge PRE AMP (costs about $15 - I recommend an RIAA preamp (most bought are to that spec) Connect the leads from your turntable to the PRE AMP module and then to your AUXILLIARY (CD, TUNER, AUX) input. Do remember to power the pre amp via the adaptor provided or power supply as recommended.

**Q: Hi, can the nagaoka mp 110 cartridge be fitted to the fluance 82t?**
A: Yes that should fit

**Q: Will this work with my powered edifier  speakers if I add a preamp?**
A: I recommend you buy an RIAA rated preamp. I also suggest your powered speakers have the correct RCA inputs AND or ideally if your RIAA PHONO preamp has OPTICAL outputs you use speakers that also have OPTICAL INPUTS rather than RCA. Remote control for your powered speakers is a bonus.. You can also use the correct RIAA PHONO preamp to connect the signal to a computer IF you wish to transfer your records to digitally recording software. Files can then be saved to ie USB or to CD et You can download FREE recording software online. DO your research!! Your Fluance is a really good choice. Mine has TWO separate click on grips that allow me to swap cartridges. I tend to use the ORTOFON for newer purchases et whilst the other for semi worn records. Audio Technica AT-VM95E or similar is a cheap balanced 20 to 22Khz cartridge and stylus (bout £50 / >$60 The slot in aluminium gripper (make sure you have the correct one) allows you to mount the cartridge easily. Use scales and the tracking guide to ensure balance and tracking is correct. (read up on HOW to balance your tracking arm - there are plenty of vids online. )

**Q: How much are replacement cartridges?**
A: If you want to get the same cartridge as the one originally delivered with this turntable, it's close to 60-70 euros depending on where you buy it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant record deck
*by A***R on 6 April 2026*

I needed a reasonable record decks as my current one skipped loads, couldn't be adjusted and caused a hum in one speaker. Researched and decided on the Fluance. Set up easy and I have never received a product so carefully packed by a manufacturer, almost a work of art! Wow, what a difference. Really detailed, but still musical and fantastic bass reproduction. First tried it today and haven't stopped playing records. Running through a Cambridge axr 100 receiver using the receiver's built in phono stage. Pretty darned great! Everyone has their own sweet zone when it comes to sound, and this player hits mine. Do your research, but seriously consider adding this to your list.
