Dual-Plinth Isolation Platform
The Fluance RT87 is a reference-grade turntable built on a dual-plinth architecture that separates the motor from the tonearm to minimise structural vibration. It arrives equipped with an Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge and the PA10 phono preamplifier for a complete high-fidelity analogue chain. The Piano Black finish adds a sleek visual presence to any listening room.
Buyers Prioritising Vibration Control
This system suits listeners who want the stylus to track grooves without mechanical interference from the drive mechanism. The adjustable VTA on the 9-inch carbon fibre tonearm allows precise calibration for the supplied cartridge. Users needing built-in wireless streaming, USB digitising outputs, or automatic cueing should consider alternative designs.
High-Inertia Acrylic Platter Headroom
The 22mm acrylic platter provides substantial rotational inertia to suppress wow and flutter during demanding passages. Its mass and material properties match vinyl closely for consistent speed stability. The 21.72 lbs overall weight anchors the deck firmly, though the fixed footprint requires adequate shelf depth and clearance for the external preamp module.

Questions about this item
Do I need to supply my own amplifier and speakers for the Fluance RT87 turntable with PA10 phono preamp?
Yes, the PA10 preamp outputs a line-level signal that requires a separate integrated amplifier or receiver and passive speakers to produce sound.
Will my existing RCA interconnect cables work with the PA10 phono preamp included with the RT87?
The PA10 provides standard RCA outputs, so any typical RCA stereo interconnect you already own will connect it to your amplifier without adapters.
How can I verify the Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge on the RT87 is tracking correctly after setup?
Use the 9-inch carbon fiber tonearm's VTA adjustment to set the arm parallel to the record surface, then confirm low distortion and balanced channel output during playback.
