The RT83 is a belt-drive turntable in Fluance’s Reference Series, supplied with an Ortofon 2M Red moving-magnet cartridge featuring an elliptical stylus. Its DC motor uses servo speed control to maintain platter speed, while the MDF plinth, aluminum platter, rubber mat, and vibration-isolation feet help reduce unwanted resonance. It has a static-balanced S-shaped tonearm, adjustable anti-skating, a cueing lever, and a tinted dust cover. A phono preamp is not built in; connect it to a phono input or an external phono preamp.
