The isolated motor and speed-control system maintain consistent platter velocity at 0.07% wow and flutter. This single figure determines whether the turntable meets the precision needed for critical listening.

Questions about this item
Does the Fluance RT85NW come with the Nagaoka MP-110 cartridge already mounted or do I need to install it myself?
The turntable ships with the Nagaoka MP-110 elliptical diamond cartridge pre-mounted and aligned, so no separate installation is required.
Why choose the RT85NW over the standard RT85 model?
The RT85NW includes the upgraded Nagaoka MP-110 cartridge instead of the standard Ortofon OM10, giving greater tonal accuracy, resolution and bass extension.
How does the 0.07% wow and flutter figure affect everyday listening?
That specification means speed variation is extremely low, so pitch remains stable and music sounds natural without audible wobble or drift.
