U-Turn Audio
Orbit Plus Turntable | Black
Why We Like It
It's surprisingly easy to find terrible, inexpensive turntables made abroad these days. (Seriously beware - a bad turntable can do some damage to your precious record collection!) Kickstarter darling, U-Turn Audio is bringing some dead simple, yet clever designs. While not a household audiophile brand name, their products have been garnering some serious love from some of the most stalwart analog reviewers based on their price/performance. (MF if you happen to read this we promise we are big fans!)
Their turntables redefine who now has access to great vinyl sound quality and their products are hand built and tested in Boston, MA to boot.

Reviews
The following are for their entry level 'Basic' version. Some of the desired upgrades mentioned in the articles actually closely resemble the upgrades done on the 'Plus' version seen here!
"Holy shit! The U-Turn Orbit turned out to be even better than I originally thought and I originally thought it was damn good to begin with."
"With the Orbit Basic turntable, U-Turn Audio has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams; their very first attempt is a knockout!"
