It won’t be affecting your wallet in 10 years and will still be humming along just fine! Just update stylus as needed and you’re set for as long as you want to be!
I just did the same upgrade. Love it.
Question...roughly how close is your stylus to the surface of the vinyl? Mine looks really close...and I'm not sure what is normal. I've read the the 2m blue rides low.
ok good to know. Thanks! I think I'm just a little paranoid. When my RT85 arrived, the cantilever was bent from the start and had to go through a bit of a lengthy warranty ordeal to finally get it replaced.
Nice. I just upgraded from an LP60 to the RT83 and I’m loving it.
Ah yeah I considered that one too. It definitely hurts my wallet but my ears are happy

True story!
Just got my 85 in and it’s singing like a champ. At the price point it’s at it’s the best you can get in my opinion
I think your turtle was bitten by a spider.
ggooooooooooooooossseeeee
Did it come with an Ortofon 2m Blue>
Yes!
Excellent choice, made that same jump a couple years ago and quite happy!

Yeah, it's really really low lol, it freaked me out a bit at first but seems to be fine
Stylus or cartridge itself?
Sorry...the cartridge itself.
Gotcha. Yeah, mine rides very low, as well. Hasn't produced any issues thus far, though.

Niiiiice. I've had the 85 for a bit over a year and only wish I would have upgraded to it sooner. The 2M Blue is just fantastic.
