Description
The RD80 maintains the Ariston philosophy of excellence of design, together with top class performance. It has the capacity to extract the maximum amount of information from the disc.
Like our other models, it is entirely gimmick free, and provides simply the best platform for carrying a vinyl disc without allowing that disc or any other extraneous energy sources to interfere with the stylus to groove interface.
The RD80 is quite simply the finest value turntable available today.

Review
In conclusion I would not hesitate to recommend the latest Ariston RD80 to anyone in the market for a mid-priced turntable. It is designed to extract musical information from the record, adding as little of its own character to the sound as possible, and in this it succeeds admirably - What HiFi
While not a truly great turntable, the RD80SL is nonetheless a substantially good one at a realistic price - £180 (motor unit only) HiFi Choice 1983
