Review on πŸ”€ U-Turn Audio Orbit Special Turntable: Built-in Preamp + Maple Finish by Chris Norman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fantastic!: Home Audio

I did a lot of research before deciding on the U-Turn and I am happy with my choice. It's obviously a nice and simple design, but most importantly it'll sound fantastic (assuming you've got decent speakers). When used on new vinyl, it sounds as good as a CD. The only hiss/crackle I've ever heard is from used records. For those who think you can tell a CD from a vinyl record, stop it, you can't, it's scientifically proven that after 4 years, human hearing isn't that good. or 5, so just stop. In any case, the installation was easy and the acrylic panel does a great job without the felt attachment. No, you CANNOT distinguish an analogue signal from a digital one. There are a few things I would change: 3 rubber feet get in the way, it just tilts. Compromise folks, just put your fourth foot in there. Better with cables. It's just not stable when open. Make the cap of all PRO HAIR higher to reduce more weight. Design a cue arm that works with Q UP. I mean, seriously, I can't believe you missed this. My minor complaints aside, I'm happy with my purchase and have the same experience as people who pay thousands of dollars for other turntables or high-end digital players. BECAUSE YOU CAN'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANALOGUE AND DIGITAL.
