Fluance RT85 Turntable with Ortofon Cartridge - High Fidelity Vinyl Record Player

Fluance is a Canadian-based audio brand that produces high-end HiFi Turntables, Powered Speakers, and Home Theater Speakers. The company's 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 brand's Turntables play traditional LP and EP vinyl records with stunning sound quality that achieves 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. Additionally, 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 has since expanded its audio line-up to include Powered Speakers and HiFi turntables. Fluance's products are unique because they develop 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 for audio is driven by their desire to provide audio enthusiasts with an immersive cinema experience and lively music performance right in their homes. The Reference turntable, for example, delivers a warm, uncompressed listening experience, allowing the user 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 turntable's Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge features a nude elliptical design that delivers a rich, elegant, and natural sound. The high-density, greater-mass acrylic platter provides increased inertia to achieve a consistent speed, while damping unwanted vibrations by trapping and dissipating the energy. This results 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 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.

In summary, Fluance's Reference turntable delivers a pure, analog listening experience with exceptional accuracy, clarity, and precision playback, all housed in a beautifully crafted wood cabinet. The company's dedication to producing high-quality audio products that provide an immersive experience for music enthusiasts is evident in the design and performance of this turntable.
