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?
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,
sunnyjim.

@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. |
@ghdprentice 1++ Cheap does as cheap is. Go with Rega. |
