Fluance


I just took delivery of a Fluance RT85 table, quickly set it up, using the installed cartridge, a MoFi phono preamp, running this very very affordable setup into a Constellation Integrated driving Perlisten S7t speakers.

I will take time, install better cartridge (I have three or more here to play with), but the first LP I am playing (Tennessee Ernie Ford, Country Hits, Analogue Productions/QRP pressing) is making magic here.  

I suppose things can get better with a better cartridge, a better phono pre, etc., etc., but from where I sit (literally) this is magical.

Yes, its close to what you ask here.  I have another system (2 really) with a TT, but this newest system is one I wanted to be simple, uncluttered, neat, and no TT.  

I thought that if I did get a TT for this system (knowing that I rarely play LPs) I wanted one that had a tonearm with removable head shells, to allow me to "play around" with the three or four cartridges I have on hand (in addition to the one that came with the TT).  I looked around and there were just a few I could identify, and that might be available, with this feature.  The Fluance was by far the least expensive of the three or four I could find, so I decided to take the chance.  I am in the process today of mounting and aligning three cartridges in their own head shell, and then the fun will begin, or at least I anticipate it will be enjoyable to listen to each, make a choice of what I think best, and move ahead.  

I have a Luxman D-05u CD/SACD player in the system I initially described that is how I listen to music nearly all the time.
