The enjoyment of music is one of life’s greatest pleasures and like the finest instruments, R810 has been designed and crafted to deliver stunning sound that will connect you closer to the music you love.Apple AirPlay and Google CastSpotify Connect and TIDAL Connect built-inApple Music, BBC Sounds, Deezer, Qobuz and moreHi-Res music file support up to 32-bit 384kHzInternet/DAB/DAB+ and FM tunersHDMI ARC/eARC connectionAn object to DesireLike the iconic radiograms of yesteryear, R810 is a product that has been designed to be seen. Enhancing R810’s aesthetics is the special material we’ve selected for the handcrafted grille and veneered cabinets. Made from sustainable woods that are spliced and reconstituted, the resulting grain patterns closely resemble slow-growing hardwoods but without the ecological impact. Combined with the precision formed trims and polished chrome stand, R810 radiates sophistication and like the finest furniture, it is an object that you will cherish and be proud to have on display in your home.A Beautiful DisplayMany systems today rely totally on smartphones and suchlike to provide information on settings and source, but with R810 the hi-resolution display provides all the information you need right in front of you and brings the look of R810 to life. With its portrait orientation the display intentionally emulates the way we view music applications on our phones and in conjunction with our new RotoDial controller makes R810 second nature to use. The intensity of the display in standby and active mode is also fully adjustable to suit your needs.Tactile ControlsWith touch-screens seemingly controlling everything these days, in our opinion you still can’t beat the positive click of a button or satisfying turn of a dial, particularly when it comes packaged as something unique and beautiful like our RotoDial control system, which for 100 Series has been improved and enhanced.Included with R810 is a matching rechargeable remote. Bluetooth connectivity means that aiming is not required during operation and looking so good, it’s an item that you will want to leave out on display for everyone to touch and see.What Lies BeneathWe’re passionate about aesthetic design, but we know that it’s what lies beneath that is fundamental in creating great sound. An example of this is R810’s enclosure where inside it has been carefully divided into compartments, each which have been optimised for their intended task. Twin bass reflex compartments house our NS+ bass-midrange units and silk dome tweeters and the long throw subwoofer is housed beneath, in an infinite baffle enclosure for superbly controlled and extended bass.Driving the system is a powerful five channel Class A-B discrete component amplifier. Five separate channels means that we can precisely control the response of each drive unit and with the latest sound processing technologies, music is produced with effortless ease with a stunning soundstage that will immerse you and fill your home with exquisite sound.Connection BlissR810 is a fully integrated entertainment system and provides all the connectivity you are ever likely to need. Streaming is its forte, but if you want to play LPs or CDs, these can easily be enjoyed by connecting a turntable to the dedicated phono inputs or our R-CD100 CD player to the USB-C socket on the rear panel.With its ability to play the highest quality audio streams, R810 opens a whole world of music and entertainment. Spotify Connect and TIDAL Connect are built-in and with the addition of Apple AirPlay and Google Cast, you can stream and control directly from apps such as Apple Music, BBC Sounds, Amazon Music and many more. In addition you can also build a flexible multi-room system, linking R810 with other AirPlay and Google Cast compatible devices, including R410 and R610.A Complete AV SolutionWith its HDMI ARC/eARC input R810 makes a great sound system for TVs and with our optional TV Mount, R810 is transformed from a music system into a complete audio/visual solution. Designed exclusively for R810, TVs and associated equipment can be tidily integrated together to make an awesome ‘all-in-one’ system that will be the centre piece for all your home entertainment needs, providing expansive sound that will make viewing television and films all the more captivating and enjoyable.SPECIFICATIONSAudioFrequency response: 30Hz - 22kHzSpeaker units:2 × Ruark 27mm silk dome tweeters,2 × Ruark 100mm NS+ bass-mid units,1 × Ruark 200mm long throw subwooferAmplifier: 180W RMS Discrete 5-channel Class A-BEnhancements:Adjustable treble, bass and sub settings,Stereo+ audio enhancement,Adaptive EQ provides ideal sound according to volumeCabinet type: Tuned reflex stereo enclosures and sealed subwoofer enclosureFeaturesController: Ruark RotoDial control systemRemote Control: RotoDial BT LE rechargeable remoteDisplay: Hi-Res 4" colour TFTPresets: 20 Global presetsApp Control: Via Spotify, BBC Sounds and moreAuto-Standby: Adjustable power saving modeAdjustable Input Levels: Line-in and opticalUSB Charge Port: USB-C 5V 1A (5W)Software Updates: Over-the-air and USBUser Interface Languages: MultilingualConnectivityRadio: Internet Radio, DAB/DAB+ and FM with RDS (87.5-108MHz)Multiroom capable: Via Apple AirPlay and Google CastWi-Fi: 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax, WPS2, WEP, WPA, WPA2Streaming: Apple AirPlay and Google CastBuilt-in music services: Spotify Connect and TIDAL ConnectSupported music services: Amazon Music, BBC Sounds, Deezer, Qobuz and many moreBluetooth: 5.1, aptX HD, SBC, AAC, BLE, A2DPEthernet: RJ45 connector 10/100 MbpsDLNA: UPnP™ DLNA media server compatibleCD support: CD playback via optional R-CD100 CD playerHDMI: ARC and eARCLine-input: Stereo RCA input (up to 2.3Vrms)Turntable input: Stereo RCA input with RIAA MM phono gain stageOptical input: TOSLINK digital input up to 24-bit 96KHzUSB-C: playback portAerial Connector :75Ω F-typeSupported Audio FormatsFLAC, AIFF, ALAC and WAV: up to 32-bit 384kHzMP3: up to 48kHz 320kbpsAAC/AAC-LC/HE-AAC/HE-AAC v2: up to 96kHz 320kbpsGeneral SpecificationsStandard finishes: Fused Walnut Veneer or Soft Grey LacquerProduct dimensions:H152 × W1000 × D400mm (cabinet)H650 × W1000 × D435mm (inc. stand, dial and mains connector)Product weight: 27kg (30.7kg inc. stand)Product power input: 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz, 2.5APower consumption: <2W standby. 10W idleGift Box Content:2m mains power cable,1 × polished chrome frame stand,2 × polished chrome bar legs for mounting R810 on existing unit,Quick start guide,RotoDial BT LE rechargeable remote,Telescopic aerial and spanner
At USD3,530 for a supposedly "new" Ruark R810 radiogram—complete with power cable—this asking price feels ambitious bordering on cheeky. Fresh units from Ruark or authorized dealers typically retail around USD4,500-USD5,000, so a true mint example might justify close to that, but "used" listings demand a discount; expect USD3,000-USD3,800 tops for pristine condition on the secondary market, depending on finishes like walnut or grey. If it's genuinely unused, haggle hard—anything over USD3,200 smells like new-stock markup without warranty assurances.
Before biting, verify the software firmware is bang up to date via Ruark's over-the-air updates, as early R810s had connectivity glitches with Wi-Fi and AirPlay that patches fixed. Confirm the rechargeable RotoDial remote, telescopic aerial, and chrome stand are included, plus test the integrated subwoofer and phono stage for rattles or hum—those Class A/B amps run warm, and mishandled shipping can stress the drivers.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Fidelity Research emerged from Tokyo in 1964, founded by Isamu Ikeda amid Japan's postwar audio boom. The company quickly established itself as a precision engineering powerhouse, focusing on analog playback components during the golden age of vinyl. Operating until around 1984, it embodied the meticulous craftsmanship that defined high-end Japanese hi-fi, with designs that prioritized sonic purity and mechanical innovation.
The brand specialized in moving-coil (MC) phono cartridges and tonearms, earning acclaim for models like the MC-202 cartridge and the iconic FR-64 and FR-66 series. These products featured advanced materials such as stainless steel and specialized alloys, delivering exceptional tracking, detail retrieval, and dynamics. While not venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or digital gear like DACs, Fidelity Research honed a narrow but masterful niche in turntable essentials.
Today, Fidelity Research holds vintage-collector status among discerning audiophiles, revered for its high-end analog prowess. Once priced at premiums like $495 for top tonearms, its gear commands cult following in the used market, prized for timeless transparency and build quality that rivals modern boutique offerings. For vinyl enthusiasts seeking uncompromised heritage, it remains a benchmark.
