So we set out to build a turntable that outperforms its price tag... By redesigning classic audiophile components and leaving out nonessentials, we created a simple, all-analog table that provides warm and detailed sound. Easy to setup and use, the Orbit delivers a pure vinyl experience. " LAB REVIEW The turntable market was sorely in need of inexpensive, yet crafted turntable alternative. Woburn, Massachusetts' U-Turn Audio launched their Orbit line of turntables after a successful Kickstarter campaign in early 2013. They delivered on their production promise with a true alternative to mass-produced plastic turntables and pricey imported audiophile turntables. With an attention to detail and manufacturing, U-Turn Audio has designed a simplified, high performance turntable at an affordable price. This particular configuration features an acrylic platter upgrade (tightens bass, increases speed consistency and detail), built-in Pluto phono preamp (switchable on/off) to connect your Orbit directly to powered speakers or an amplifier, and the Ortofon OM5e cartridge, a longtime staple for entry-level audiophiles.
