Why consider this model?

  • A candidate for someone who wants the RT81's AT95E and rubber-mat configuration, its built-in switchable phono stage and a manually operated two-speed deck, and whose shelf can accommodate the current listed body size.

Tradeoffs to weigh

  • The arm remains manual despite the platter auto-stop, which may not work correctly with some records. Compared with RT80 and RT81+, this RT81 package uses an AT95E and rubber mat; its four feet are fixed, and its manual lists a shorter depth than the current product page.
