The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The motor is isolated from the platter to minimize vibrations and keep the speed steady, which matters for consistent playback quality.
- You'll need to connect this to a separate phono preamp or amplifier with a built-in preamp, since one isn't included.
- The tonearm is balanced and S-shaped, which helps it track the record groove accurately without adding extra electronics to the signal path.
As of Aug 21, the Fluance RT82 Reference High Fidelity Vinyl is a good price at $349.99 — versus a $348.40 typical price and a $299.99 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
Its price this year
A fair price — but not a real “sale.”
Sale check Amazon shows “30% off,” measured against a $500 “list price” it doesn't charge. Its usual price is $348 — real discount ≈ 0%.
The phantom Amazon has left this $500 “list price” untouched for 14 months — while the item actually sold for about $348. It's a fixed anchor, not a price it charges.
