![]() I’d probably choose the Pro-ject again between the two. I never cared for the Technics look much, but it’s hard to argue with the performance, and now that I have one, the looks are growing on me.Īs far as new, I think you’re looking at two of the better options in that price range. Sorry to say I haven’t used a Fluance to compare, but I will say that Pro-ject is the somewhat more “established” brand and if you do decide to upgrade down the line, you’ll probably have an easier time selling it, as I’m about to do (and I didn’t think I would be already).Īs much as I was drawn to the looks of the two tables, and reading/watching all the glowing reviews, if I were to do it again I’d probably look for a used Technics or well-regarded vintage table in that budget range - the exact advice I was given by others at the time. I have been happy with my choice between the two, but as my record collection grew and I upgraded the rest of my system, I’ve just decided to step up to a Technics SL-1210gr. I had a similar quandary (although between RT85 and the Pro-ject Debut Evo) a couple of years back and posted either here or one of the other audio forums about it. I probably average fewer than 6 hours a week listening to my collection, so it’s a pretty casual part of my life, but I definitely want to get a different table. With my current setup, would I really even be able to tell a difference in quality between these two turntables? Would I be better off getting the more expensive Pro-ject as a sort of “future proofing” turntable, in that I could continue an upward trajectory with a better receiver, pre-amp, and speakers, or should I just keep it modest, since I’ve already been satisfied with my current setup? My main concern, apart from quality sound, is having a reliable turntable that will keep my records from wearing too quickly. I have a lot of records, ranging from a lot of Blue Note jazz to old school punk and hip hop. I have a discerning ear, but I simply don’t have the experience to call myself an audiophile. ![]() ![]() I’ve been pretty satisfied with the sound, but am also well aware it could be vastly improved upon. I have a very modest setup - Pioneer VSX-532 receiver, Polk Audio RTi A3 speakers, DJ Pre II pre-amp, and a Polk PSW10 sub. I currently have an Audio Technica LP120USB (in which I’m beginning to see more plate wobble, which I understand is a very common problem with this model) that I am going to replace. All right, I’d greatly appreciate some advice deciding between two very different turntables - Fluance RT82 and Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO. ![]()
