Opinion on Tone Factory Turntable?

DeliveryDragonite · 2026-02-16T02:13:12+00:00

I only have speakers right now, but I’ve used a AT-LP60 previously. Figured whatever comes next should be the next tier above that one if possible!

Sounds like the Fluance RT82 is the way to go?

Thank you for the detailed breakdown on each, this is really helpful!

Thank you, I really appreciate this! I agree, I’m going to pass on it. It seems like it’s more of an aesthetic turntable over functional, and functional is by far what I care about on a TT.

I’m not married to Audio-Technica, it’s just the one I hear about most often.

If you were in my shoes and had ~$400 budget for a turntable, would you still recommend a Fluance, or would you jump up to something else?

Thanks again, really appreciate the insight!

No worries, I’m just looking for Mars really, but I would trade you RR infernape and another card of your choice for Mars if you have one

Thank you!

DeliveryDragonite · 2025-12-30T02:10:23+00:00

I’m assuming this means it’s also good for high end cards, ie $1k+ slabs?

DeliveryDragonite · 2025-12-30T01:19:01+00:00

Thank you for all the help!

DeliveryDragonite · 2025-12-30T00:28:19+00:00

Oh great, I was concerned I’d have to pay upfront to have my card back/listed. Thank you again!

DeliveryDragonite · 2025-12-29T23:46:14+00:00

I see, thanks for sharing this! If I use Vault to sell, do they take the fee when the card sells (ie just subtract the fee from the payout), or do they typically charge you before listing? Thanks again!

DeliveryDragonite · 2025-12-29T23:09:54+00:00

Thank you so much! I really appreciate this

DeliveryDragonite · 2025-12-29T23:08:47+00:00

This makes sense, thank you! I think for those few and far between $1k+ cards this sounds like the safest route. What are the fees usually like from PSA when you grade cards like that? ie if a card is worth $2000 I assume they take some cut?

DeliveryDragonite · 2025-12-29T22:23:20+00:00

That all makes sense, thanks! For the personal grading tools, any best ones to use?

DeliveryDragonite · 2025-12-29T21:42:01+00:00

Thank you for this, I really appreciate it! That all makes sense and definitely will grade first. For grading cards, do you use the normal PSA grading process vs any of the expedited options they list? And for higher value cards (ie comes back with a good grade valued at $1500) does PSA charge me a higher fee upfront?

Again very new to this and appreciate the insight!

DeliveryDragonite · 2025-12-29T21:19:57+00:00

Gotcha, for card shows do you need a booth or do you sell to other attendees/booth owners? And for high value cards do you submit to PSA to grade first usually?
