Review on U-Turn Audio - Orbit Plus Turntable (Blue) by Imran Roach

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great deck for your money! Upgrade the cassette (I chose the MoFi Stufio Tracker)

I'll start by saying I've been away from the world of hi-fi vinyl for a while. In the past I have had the pleasure of working for several enthusiast-oriented companies. The two channels were my passion and have remained so to this day. It started with a decision I made after the B&O car was too expensive to replace. The Denon DP-300f got pretty good reviews and sold for under $200. It wasn't bad, but my friend recommended the MoFi Studio Tracker cartridge. Adding a MoFi cart to an entry-level but competent deck was instructive to say the least (best bet under $200 in my opinion). I thought the deck was the missing piece. After some homework, the U-Turn Orbit plus was a pretty obvious choice. Once set up properly, a sub-$500 combo is amazing. An expansive soundstage and natural tones that I didn't think you could get at this price point. I have a B&W 600 S3, Kimber cables and Integra electronics.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • ill thought out

Wonderful turntable but has an annoying flaw.

I'd spent a ton of hours finding the best bang for the buck components for my system
