Pros

It came well packaged, it's easy to install and i'm very, very happy. I like the fact it has few frills to break down. My only two gripes are:1. It works but feels loose.

The ortofon om10 cart is a vast sound quality improvement with it's elliptical shape. I'm an experienced listener and tech savvy adult who has been around music so i know quality from *.

The lp60xbt is head and shoulders above other turntables. Even the base has some weight and feels sturdy, nothing about it feels fragile at all. Balancing the tonearm was a snap. The tone arm and plate are very solid.

The isolation feet make it easy to have turntable and speakers on same surface with no fear of cranking up the volume. Everything about this turntable speaks of qualify and craftsmanship.

Cons

Consumer reviews are by consumers about their experience and that is exactly what follows. Save yourself the anger, disappointment, time and money. This is one of the most asinine policies i have ever heard. The problem is they don't care.

Quality

The arm is very well made easy to set up and balance and feels very high end

The quality of sound reproduction is absolutely amazing

Price

This turntable is great for the money

These accessories are fairly inexpensive to buy

I don’t know how they can sell such a great product at such a great price

For only 300 the fluance is at least an introductory audiophilelevel table

Shipping

Fast shipping and arrived in great shape

Purchased the rt82 got it quickly nothing damaged easy to put together and pleasing to the eye

I was so excited to receive it but then my records kept skipping

Shipping was very fast especially for free shipping

Packaging/appearance

I love that it came in white which matches my room perfectly

Everything is high quality and professionally packaged

Instructions on assembly are included in the packaging

Got the walnut base and its very pretty

Competitiveness

The ortofon om10 sound great and looks really cool compared to your run of the mill boxy cartridge

I bought this turntable after watching a number of reviews on youtube asserting that the fluance rt82 is the best bangforbuck e... Read More

If you want to spend 200 more for a better cartridge and acrylic platter go for the rt85

If you have the clams you might just buy the rt85 with the ortofon 2m blue cartridge or the nagaoka mp110
