  I have had at least 6 turn tables in my 84 years and when I bought the RT-85 with the 2M blue I was blown away...it cost me more than you paid as the price is in USD and I am in Canada...the closest cartridge I could compare with Shure V15II which I still own...good show btw

  Great review! I purchased the RT85N as my first serious turntable. <br>I know this was posted about 2 years ago. But it is still a very good value for the money. <br>And have yet to see any others that match it in value. <br><br>Keep up the good work!

  Appreciate your straightforward, honest assessments, keeping it simple, and throwing in some good humor - it&apos;s fun to learn from you. Your laid back demeanor while explaining things in just the right amount of detail is really helpful for those of us who have other things to worry about in addition to our audio equipment, so want the straight scoop presented efficiently, which really helps in making the right decisions. Just the right amount of enthusiasm included where you think it is warranted, and it is legit and so rubs off. RT-85 for me with maybe the Fosi pre-amp (love the tube look) to get myself back into the vinyl game for the first time since saying good-bye in the late 80&apos;s/early 90&apos;s. Thanks!

  &quot;If you need another speed, you&apos;re not gonna get it.&quot; The best words of advice! I sure hope I don&apos;t need any other speed!

  I was asked by a friend to recommend a good turntable that would last, and not crazy expensive, in other words, a solid piece and good value. &nbsp;Based on 2M Blue, build quality, headshell and semiautomatic operation, the RT85 was easy to recommend and he&apos;s thrilled with it. The difference between cost and value is huge.

  Just realized that the profile on the coffee mug looks like Ben Franklin in a Vader helmet.

  The cost of the cartridge ($230) and platter ($120) as separates, you get the turntable for $150. Worth it. High grade gear.

  Glad to hear a positive on the the RT85 from you as I went back and forth several times while trying to make my decision and finally decided on the RT85 based on the features vs cost. I’ve been very happy with it and the Ortofon 2m blue. Cheers!
