Fluance RT85 (2019)

Fluance's reference belt-drive turntable is a purist analog design: gold-plated RCA outputs carry a phono-level signal, and a dedicated grounding terminal with the supplied ground wire keeps the noise floor low. There's no built-in preamp, so you'll pair it with an external phono stage or a receiver's phono input. No USB ripping or Bluetooth is offered. The fitted Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge and acrylic platter make the external-preamp route worth it.

Fluance’s reference belt-drive turntable with gold-plated RCA output and ground terminal — no built-in preamp, no USB.
