Reference Turntable System for Vinyl Purists

The Fluance RT87 dual-plinth turntable pairs with the PA10 phono preamp and Ai81 powered floorstanding speakers to form a complete high-fidelity analog chain. The turntable isolates its motor on a lower plinth from the tonearm on the upper plinth, reducing structural vibration for precise stylus tracking. Together they deliver the warmth and clarity of vinyl playback in a single integrated package.

Upgrade Path from Basic Turntables

This system replaces entry-level belt-drive turntables that lack vibration isolation and passive speakers requiring a separate amplifier. The jump is worth it when you want a fully matched analog front end with 150 watts of integrated power and a dedicated preamp built for signal purity. It is not for listeners who only stream digital audio or need a compact desktop solution.

Setup Checks Before Ordering

Verify you have floor space for two full-size tower speakers and a stable surface for the dual-plinth turntable weighing 80.63 lbs. Ensure a nearby mains outlet for the powered speakers and preamp. The system uses standard RCA connections between components, so confirm your existing cables suit the layout. No network or wireless features are included.
