What is the quality and performance level of Fluance turntables??


I may have ask the  above question before. Nevertheless, I currently own a U-Turn Orbit table with which has several upgrade options like an acrylic platter, arm lift, Ortofon Red cartridge, Supposedly,  anti-skating and tracking force were done at the factory.  However, I had problems with the motor which was replaced twice, courtesy of U-Turn.  However, when I replaced the second motor as per their on-line video  instructions, it developed a hum at higher volumes. I checked all connections  and wires to insure there were No stray wires I may have missed. Also checked connections to my pre-amp and separate phono box.

When I first bought the table, I was pleased with its performance , but now much less so because of the hum. Even though, I own and play less vinyl, I want to upgrade to one of the Fluance turntable which seen well designed and assembled. Every model has both adjustable anti-skating and tracking force. 

Would  like some feedback from members who have owned  or currently own one of their turntables.

Thank you,

Never heard one. They have a good reputation as a reasonable starter turntable. If you do go for one, upgrade to a 2M Blue. It’s a lot better. Better yet, go for a Pioneer PLX1000 turntable as the best value upper end budget turntable. As you’ve said yourself, you’re not playing records because you’ve issues with your current unit. So, a better table will change that. Are you sure the hum isn’t related to some other component in the chain?

OP, so do not remember that you asked exactly the same question six months ago and had it answered by this community?

@noromance You are very correct.

 

I’ll post the same thing I did before, “Turntables are available from under $100 to well over $50,000. In general, you get what you pay for. In the budget range Rega is well respected.” 

I recommend looking at Rega.
