## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the auto-stop lift up the tonearm when it shuts off?**
A: No.  The auto-stop feature simply stops the rotation of the turntable, so the tonearm just rests on the record's end gooves.  It takes a few seconds to engage as well, so I try to get up and manually (using the cue lever) lift the tonearm and return it to its cradle as soon as the record has finished playing. At my age, getting up to lift the tonearm and flip (or change) the record counts as exercise.

**Q: does the tracking weight determine frequency response ?**
A: Not as far as I can tell.  Phono pickups can reproduce sound beyond the limits of human hearing, so that is not  really the issue.  Heavier tracking weight can wear on the grooves on vinyl records, however, so my advice is to start with the minimum tracking force recommended by the cartridge manufacturer and, if necessary, gradually increasing (along with the corresponding anti-skating) until you get the detailed, balanced sound you want.  Better cartridges usually have relatively light tracking forces (less than 2 grams).

**Q: How do you change speeds?**
A: The power knob on the left front rotates to the left for 33rpm and to the right for 45rpm.  Between the two is the off position.  The numbers (and "off") are written on the housing in front of the knob.  You have only the two speeds, so you can't play old 78rpm records on this turntable.

**Q: My RT83 runs slow what do I do to fix it?**
A: First check the record speed setting (45 or 33 rpm), check belt condition. If both ok, I suspect the motor or power supply.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Audiophile Quality Without Breaking the Bank – The RT83 is a Gem!
*by M***Z on April 4, 2025*

If you're serious about vinyl and want high-end performance without spending a fortune, the Fluance RT83 is an absolute winner. From the moment you unbox it, you can feel the quality—this turntable is solid, elegant, and built with real attention to detail.The setup was straightforward, and the included Ortofon 2M Red cartridge delivers rich, warm, and detailed sound that brings every record to life. The separation, clarity, and depth are stunning—especially for this price point. Paired with a good amp and speakers, the RT83 easily competes with much more expensive setups.What I also love is that Fluance didn’t cut corners. The acrylic platter, solid wood plinth, and precision motor system all scream quality. It's a manual turntable, which I prefer—it gives you that tactile, hands-on connection to your music that makes vinyl so special.This turntable is perfect for both seasoned collectors and those stepping up from entry-level models. Fluance nailed it with the RT83—highly recommended if you value great sound, elegant design, and outstanding craftsmanship.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hi-fi turntable at Mid-fi price
*by R***D on June 21, 2020*

The RT-83 is the absolute best value for an audiophile-level turntable. In my opinion, it is the sweet spot in the Fluance turntable line, having the servo motor and Ortofon red. It is same as the more expensive RT-85 which upgrades to Ortofon blue and acrylic platter. It is lightweight, lovely to look at, easy to set up and a true bargain in the world of high-end audio. Okay, the white gloves are a bit much (not needed or used). I would rather Fluance included a paper or plastic alignment protractor with a pre-punched hole for checking the stylus. Of course, if you like the Ortofon red cartridge that comes with the turntable, it is pre-aligned and ready to play, so that's not really an issue for most folks. I kept looking for the belt in the packaging, but was unable to find it. Then I read the clear and simple assembly instructions and found it already mounted on the edge of the platter. Ingenius! Other belt-drive turntables make you reach through a hole in the platter and use a toothpick to stretch the belt over the idler arm in the belly of the housing. I was surprised again to find a miniature level in the package to help with the set up. Did Fluance think of everything? Not quite. There is no indentation or anything to signify placement of the 45rpm adapter, so I just set it on the corner of the turntable behind the tonearm. Of course, there is no automatic return of the tonearm. There is a feature that is supposed to turn off the turntable after 30 seconds or so of the stylus hitting the end of the record. I always lift the stylus off the record with the cue lever long before that feature kicks in, so I cannot verify that it works. It is nice to know it's there, however, lest I should fall asleep while listening. Once you manually return the tonearm to its plastic resting place, the platter stops rotating. To restart rotation, you have to manually move the tonearm over the beginning grooves of the record and lower it onto the record with the very nicely damped cue lever. This is old school true manual turntable, so It means up and down off the sofa during listening sessions. At my age, I count this as exercise. So I don't know if this is the best turntable for beginners who may prefer pushing a button and have automatic tonearm placement to start and auto return and shut off. The Ortofon red is a good tracking, nice-sounding cartridge which retails for around $100, which makes this package a steal. I prefer the sound of my old AT 440 MLa, so I purchased an extra headshell and now have the Ortofon as a back up all mounted and pre-aligned. To say I am pleased with this turntable would be an understatement. I highly recommend it. It makes me wonder if Fluance loudspeakers are as good for the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Value for new Vinyl Listeners
*by D***R on May 20, 2025*

The media could not be loaded. As a new comer to the world of Vinyl records I felt lost when it came to choosing which record player I should purchase.I looked at many different players from tons of brands both known and unknown and I was often left unsure of what was the actual difference between different record players. That was until I found the Fluance Reference line of record players.Fluance makes it very easy to chose your player by simplifying the technical side of the purchasing of players. All of the reference players come with the same basic tech specs meaning even if you chose to buy their cheapest player it still has their top of the line internal components that you would find in their most expensive player. The only difference is the needle and platter. This presents an amazing deal for people getting into records as you are able to get an amazing platform to start your record listening journey that can grow with you and match your needs as you get deeper and deeper into the hobby without being held back by cheap motors or poor speed adjustment or lack their of.This player is a very manual experience which may turn some people off but I find this appealing as when I am listening to records I am trying to leave our automated world and venture back to simpler times. This means that you will be lifting and dropping your needle yourself and also you will have to adjust the speed yourself.Overall this player sounds amazing looks amazing and is a great value for the price. If you are new to the hobby of records I think this is a great place to start.
