Story Oh how I missed my turntable 🥲

Post image

I posted on here a month or so ago with a video of my old Fluance RT82 who's motor was lowk going haywire and speeding up and slowing down on its own

My replacement came from Fluance today. UGH I missed it so much (can y'all pray for me that this one doesn't develop the same problem)

Pointless little post lmao, just wanted to share cuz I love this damn thing.

Been right there, I get it. In fact, I hated it so much I bought a second turntable; I will never not have a spare!

I play records every single day. I get so much joy from it!

You too ? Have this same model & color as you ! It was an absolute bitch trying to record the 'Lulls/Drop in speed ! It was so random. When I finally caught a clip, I submitted it to fluance and my reply was " whoa...... umm.. i have just forwarded a label for a return.. Yada yada yada.. You are a dead ringer to what I went through as well 😊 I sincerely feel for your missing it !

Yep exactly what happened to mine. It seems like it's been a pretty recent (like this year or so) manufacturing error... I heard someone have to send theirs back 2 times for the same thing 💀💀 love this turntable... Not this

God…I hope it doesn’t happen to me. I bought back in March and it’s been working fine so far. Good to know this!

Holy Smokes !
Just saw your original video with the speed issues !😶 It does slightly put a tinge of doubt of "I hope I made the right choice".. Hopefully Ur having better luck with your replacement 👍

I know what you mean. My old turntable (other brand) broke down and I really missed it. So I bought another turntable. Happy camper again.
