Dual-Plinth Turntable for Vinyl Enthusiasts

The Fluance RT87 is a reference-grade turntable built for listeners who want the purest analog playback from their vinyl collection. Its dual-plinth architecture isolates the motor from the tonearm to minimise structural vibration and preserve signal purity. The package includes the VB65 cleaning kit and RW02 record weight for long-term record care. It suits dedicated audiophiles assembling a high-fidelity analog source.

Upgrading From Entry-Level Belt-Drive Models

This turntable replaces basic single-plinth decks where motor noise and vibration blur fine musical detail. The jump is worth it when your current system resolves enough detail to reveal surface noise, speed instability, or a compressed soundstage. The high-mass dual-plinth design and included stabiliser weight address those limits directly. Buyers whose amplification or speakers cannot yet reveal such nuances may not hear the full improvement.

Verify Cartridge Compatibility and Shelf Stability

Confirm that your phono stage or amplifier provides a moving-magnet input with standard gain and loading, as the factory-fitted cartridge requires it. Ensure your equipment rack or shelf can support 22.98 lbs of turntable plus the added record weight without resonance. Check that you have a grounded mains outlet for the corded 1.5 W power supply. The VB65 kit uses fluid-based cleaning, so plan for safe storage of the solution.

Questions about this item

How much clearance does the 22.98 lb dual-plinth turntable need on a shelf or rack?

Allow at least a few inches on all sides for the dual-plinth chassis and tonearm swing; the unit weighs 22.98 lbs so the surface must support that weight without flex.

What is the correct order for placing the RW02 record weight and VB65 cleaning kit during setup?

Level the turntable first, then place the RW02 weight on the platter before playing; use the VB65 kit to clean records and stylus before each session, not after assembly.

How often should the VB65 3-in-1 cleaning kit fluids and brushes be replaced?

Replace the cleaning fluid when it looks cloudy or after roughly 65 uses, and swap the stylus brush when bristles show wear to keep tracking accurate.
