Crossly are the best haha jk lol
The best turntable at any price is a harshly used, portable Crosley. You guys should look them up. For about $10, you can destroy your ears, records, and your self-respect. Now that’s value. Looking for skate control? No way! The Crosley cartridge is as gentle as an actual ice skate so why do you need a control for that! But there’s more! That’s right! Normally other record players charge hundreds for Hi-Fi stereo add-ons. Not the Crosley! The list of freebies is long and distinguished, just like Slider’s johnson! Don’t wait, or…….wait, what the hell? I just had a major operation 3 days ago and the medication that they have me on is wiping my mind. I wrote all of this without knowing it. I just came to and there it was. I hope my loss of brain cells was worth it.
I think Massdrop has a budget TEAC turntable. Wonder how it compares to the Fluance?
I really like the Pro-ject Debut as budget turntable, very simple gear, easy to maintain/upgrade and the sound is excellent.
Project Debut Carbon turntable. Change the 2M red cartridge to a Nakaoga MP150. Get the Project speed box an the acrylic plater. Now the Schiit Mani phono preamp and you have a nice budget turntable. Don’t forget the Q-up also.
Do you still stand by it being your favorite beginners table?
I researched a bunch of turntables in this price range. Eventually decided to just refurbish a mk1 technics 1200 myself. They’re much cheaper than the mk2, because they’re not the ones DJs want. They have a motor with more torque (sp-10 motor), and a platter that weighs around the same despite having no magnets in it.
In term of build quality, specs, user friendliness. It blows away all the entry level turntables.
How is the speed on this one? I am hearing that the Fluance players have issues with speed control.
Thanks for the review! What is the intro song? Thanks!
Nice TT, beautiful in appearance, very spartan in features. There’s something to be said for simplicity and Fluance seems to have put their $$ in where it counts most: quality and build. However, for me it lacks one important feature: auto return when the record is done playing. But, this is what ‘Manual’ TT’s are about – manual operation. Very nice TT.
Yeah the fluance is better than this, same price I have forgotten the model it even looks better. that’s the one I want
Love the speed switch. My rega you have to switched the belt!! Rega rp1 found the best entry. Put on a new white belt, cork platter and gold note cartridge. Professionally set up. Great, great, great!
