Fluance RT85 Turntable - Walnut

Fluance is a Canadian-based audio brand that produces high-end HiFi Turntables, Powered Speakers, and Home Theater Speakers. Their entire team is dedicated to creating products that deliver exceptional audio performance while offering an extraordinary customer experience. Fluance believes that everyone should experience audio in its truest form.

The company's Turntables play traditional LP and EP vinyl records with stunning sound quality, achieving the purest analog sound reproduction. Their Powered Speakers provide room-filling sound in any home audio setup, from turntables to TVs to Bluetooth music streaming. Fluance's Home Theater Speakers complete the cinema experience with their Surround Sound Speaker Systems.

Fluance was founded in 1999 in Canada with the goal of recreating audio performances the way the artist intended. The company expanded its audio lineup to include Powered Speakers and HiFi turntables. What makes Fluance's products unique is their development of high-performance drive units for their speakers, cutting-edge isolation materials and technologies for their turntables, and hand-crafted wood cabinets and plinths for a warm, natural sound.

Fluance's passion is to ensure that audio enthusiasts enjoy an immersive cinema experience and lively music performance right in their homes. The Reference turntable, for example, delivers a warm, uncompressed listening experience, allowing users to get lost in the music. With no electronics in the signal path, from stylus tip to the gold-plated RCA outputs, the turntable provides an exceptionally pure sound.

The Reference turntable features the Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge, which provides beautiful playback with a rich, elegant, and natural sound. The high-density acrylic platter helps achieve a consistent speed while damping unwanted vibrations, resulting in a 3-dimensional soundstage with improved bass definition, a richer midrange, and greater signal clarity.

The servo-controlled belt-drive motor with a speed-regulating optical sensor continuously measures and adjusts variances in linear velocity and acceleration within a few hundredths of a percent, ensuring a wow and flutter of 0.07%. The decoupling of the drive from the plinth suppresses motor vibrations and noise from reaching the stylus, maintaining accurate speed and significantly reducing rumble.

The mass-loaded, multi-layered MDF wood chassis of the turntable inhibits the transfer of unwanted resonance through the system. The 3 rubber, spike-type adjustable isolation feet minimize surface contact under the turntable, resulting in immunity to environmental vibrations for greater low-frequency signal pickup and improved imaging.

Fluance's Reference turntables, available in various finishes, come with a dust cover, bubble level, headshell with the Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge, counterweight, acrylic platter with belt, power adapter, cables, and a user manual, as well as lifetime customer support.
