Fluance RT87 Dual-Plinth Turntable System

The Fluance RT87 Reference High Fidelity Turntable uses a dual-plinth design that separates the motor from the tonearm to minimise vibration. It ships with the PA10 Phono Preamp and Ai81 Powered Floorstanding Speakers for a complete analog playback chain. This system suits vinyl enthusiasts who want precise stylus tracking and a quiet acoustic background.

Installation and Common Issues

The turntable requires assembly of the dual-plinth platform, tonearm, and cartridge before use. The Ai81 speakers need mains power and speaker-cable connection to each other and the preamp. Buyers who want a plug-and-play unit without tonearm setup should note this system demands careful calibration. Ensure the motor is decoupled correctly on the lower plinth to avoid tracking errors.

Capacity and Headroom

The integrated 150W amplifier in the Ai81 speakers delivers high output for immersive listening in medium to large rooms. The dual-plinth isolation handles demanding passages with low distortion, preserving detail at high volumes. The system runs out of headroom in very large untreated spaces where extreme sound-pressure levels are required. Power consumption is rated at 1.5 units for the turntable.
