See it at FluanceThe RT81 is from the lower end of the Fluance line, which includes reference models like the RT84 and RT85, both of which cost twice as much as the RT81.
Despite the RT81's place in the "starter" end of the family, it's clear that Fluance really cares about the sound of this turntable.
The belt-driven platter is made of solid aluminum, and Fluance includes an Audio Technica AT95E moving magnet stylus with two grams of tracking force.
Yes, you can get a less expensive turntable that plugs into a PC using USB, but this Fluance is your gateway to rediscovering (or just discovering) the beauty of music that comes from a traditional amp and speakers.
Fluance has a solid reputation among serious music lovers, and this turntable is a good example of why.  Â
