In addition to the Orbit's acrylic platter and low-noise operation, this particular combination delivers exceptionally expressive playback with open and dynamic sound, as well as a stunning aesthetic that complements any room.</p> <p>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.</p> <h4>TECH SPECS</h4> <ul> <li>hardwood base</li> <li>acylic platter</li> <li>cue lever</li> <li>decoupled motor</li> <li>low noise AC synchronous motor</li> <li>16.75 x 12.5 x 4.25" / 425 x 317 x 107mm</li> <li>11.5 lbs / 5.2 kg</li> </ul> <h4>COMES WITH</h4> <ul> <li>Ortofon 2M Red cartridge</li> <li>dust cover</li> <li>felt mat</li> <li>removable RCA cables</li> </ul> <ul></ul> <h6><br></h6>
