Review on U-Turn Audio - Orbit Plus Turntable (White) by Tyler Markham

Revainrating 5 out of 5

An excellent entry-level turntable for the vinyl novice

I bought this as my first and only turntable so I can get into the game with 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 got the model with the acrylic panel and no phono stage because I bought the receiver with built-in phono stage separately (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EE18O7W/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Some things I've read recommend for a beginner versus a manual player like this (like the lack of automatic features like stopping rotation when recording ends), but I found it unnecessary. If you're smart, competent enough, and do your homework on how to properly set up and use your turntable, you won't have any trouble getting used to it. The simpler the device, the fewer components can break or generate vibration or acoustic interference. The simpler the better! From a beginner to the rest; if I can do it, you should be able to too. Don't hesitate with Orbita!

Pros
  • Turntable and accessories
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
