Low Cost Turntable - Incredible Performance

Hey, Jim.

My data comes straight from psychoacoustic research from Audio Engineering Society publications, measuring the thresholds of human pitch perception. Where does his data come from? My guess is his own head.

So, I’d say not. I actually own the Fluance RT85N, with the Nagaoka  cartridge. For the price, its a dandy TT. For the price.

And yes, I asked Chat GPT, then I asked it from what source it derived that answer.

So, I’d say it’s legit information.

My point that @jimbennet posts things as absolutes when they’re either simply his opinion or not based in fact, sounds like a fair response.

"The Fluance RT-85 TT has ,2% wow and flutter that some can hear,"

 "The Fluance RT85 has received uniformly good reviews for its price class,"

White paper specs are everything in audiophool land. Then there's whoever's listening.

My brother wanted to revisit his LP collection and bought the Fluance along with a Schiit Mani.

For $700, a surprisingly ear pleasing, low cost solution for anyone considering records for nostalgia or a 1st try

I'm impressed by $500K tables, but the Fluance is shockingly good for what it is. It even looks great with its faux wood veneer wrap.

@jimbennet ,

From what source did you get your wow and flutter information?

Read it on the internet. I did not write down site.

@tablejockey ,

Actually, I think it’s real wood veneer. Fluance states "real wood finish".

Either way, it’s a very nice looking, very good sounding table, and for the price, a terrific bargain.
