No regret! fits turntables and accessories

I procrastinated on this purchase for a long time after clicking on one of Orbit's Facebook posts and seeing it in my feed about 3011 times in 2-3 weeks . I recently bought some great vintage stereo equipment and the turntable I had turned out no mustard. After reading reviews on several websites and doing a little research about the company I decided to pull the trigger and I have to say I couldn't be happier or more impressed. The difference in sound quality is more than apparent, and from an

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Appearance

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…

The perfect minimalistic player for easy listening!

This is my third turntable, updated from the AT-LP60 (which is great for beginners). Depending on your price range, your commitment to vinyl, and how you use it, it's just about perfect. The price is a bit high and you can get more for less on the U-Turn website as this one doesn't come with Ortofon 2M Red but the quality is worth it. У некоторых людей были проблемы с переключением с 45 на 33 оборотов в минуту с ремнем, но после некоторого мастерства это не проблема, тем более, что большинство…

Great entry-level turntable for the vinyl novice

I bought this turntable as my first and only turntable to start playing vinyl. I was very pleased with U-Turn, with its customization options, upgrades, affordability, build quality, beautiful and informative website and materials, fantastic product packaging and setup instructions, and of course the Orbit aesthetics and sound quality. I received the model with an acrylic panel and no phono stage as I bought a receiver with a built in phono stage separately (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B…

Pros
  • Precision OA2 gimbal tonearm for accurate tracking and low distortion. Features an internal roll-off protection and an adjustable counterweight.
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Amazing Sound Quality

Pros: Amazing sound quality Great sound quality at double the price Arm sounds great and tracks on pretty much anything at 1.5 grams RPM is almost dead at 33.25 Cons: Cool that the belt is on the outside , or? You're like, "Oh great, now I can easily go from a 33 to a 45 and vice versa," so you buy that instead of the Pro-Ject or Rega, which drags you down the platter. Guess buddy. While it's very tricky to change the belt from 33 to 45 while the disc is spinning, if you play multiple 45s in a…

  • Acrylic disc offers improved speed consistency and clearer, more detailed reproduction.
