## Description

desertcart.com: U-Turn Audio - Orbit Special Turntable (Gen 2) with Built-in Preamp, Black : Electronics

Review: Great table, love the design. - I bought this based on reviews around the internet - saw that it was a little bit discounted, I went for it. Was pretty happy until I saw the 1 star review by AnonymousDa. Got the table today and set it up. Happy to say it is a very inaccurate review and I am very please with my purchase. 1.- The turntable does not have a ground lug nut because is grounded internally thru the RCA cable. Any cable works. More of that later. 2.- Everyone's experience is different, but there is no hum with the Orbit Special in my system. Silent as a sinner in mass. 3.- Everyone's unit is different so there is the possibility any will have finishing defects. But the comment is 100% inaccurate in expecting the red version to be walnut. Both the U-Turn site AND THE desertcart LISTING specify that for the Walnut turntable you have to pay around an extra $120 and it doesn't come in colors. Same for the oak version. 4.- How can the belt be a poor fit if it is threaded? I measured the speed both for 33 and 45 and it is spot on. So the belt fits and works 5.- Again, no hum here. My system is silent. Also, it is 100% inaccurate that in order to avoid hum you have to use their cable. I did not even unpack the included cable. GOT RID of the ground wire I had for another turntable, connected MY cables, no issues no hum. YMMV, but be aware that is not uncommon for turntables to reveal grounding issues in systems. 6.- Yes, the turntable includes very basic cables, indeed. However, they are clearly pictured in the packing contents (the "in the box" tab in the product description of the U-Turn website). 7.- I sent questions via email to customer support, re: the grounding and I got a reply the next day, as indicated in their support page. Did not have to deal with an actual issue because do not have any. 8.- Most people do not need a pigtail. I assume is a piece of advice for those that DO. I did not. All in all, after a few hours with the device, I am very impressed. No issues, easy setup. Was up and running in 5 mins; granted, I had everything else setup and connected as I was only swapping tables I was planning to immediately install an Ortofon 2M Blue stylus I already own, but to tell you the truth, so far so good with the 2M Red. Will do it later, but rather listen to music now. Love the threaded belt and LOOOOVE the system to lock and que lever. Like how it is not a hard lock AND how the cue lever does not cover the locked position, so there is no chance to lift the cue lever when the arm is locked! Fantastic. Recommended
Review: Excellent Turntable – A Worthy Upgrade! - I replaced my Rega RP1 due to a persistent ground hum, and I couldn’t be happier with the U-Turn Orbit Plus. Right out of the box, the build quality impressed me—solid construction with a sleek, minimalist design. Setup was quick and easy, and most importantly, the sound is fantastic. The Orbit Plus delivers clean, detailed audio with no unwanted noise, making my records sound better than ever. The tonearm tracks smoothly, and the overall performance exceeds my expectations, especially at this price point. If you’re looking for a high-quality turntable without breaking the bank, this one is a fantastic choice!

## Features

- Electronic 33/45 RPM speed control lets you change speeds with the turn of a knob. An advanced motor controller boosts performance and speed accuracy, and our all-new seamless silicone belt eliminates motor noise

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice Table!
*by T***E on December 4, 2025*

I haven't played my records since the 80s so I don't have a lot to compare it to, but it seems like a very nice table and reviews very well. I like that it's US built and most components are also source in the US. It has played flawlessly and sounds great, especially with new vinyl. Unless you plan to play a lot of 45's, I would do a custom without the speed control, but with a Ortofon Blue cartridge and, perhaps, isolation feet. Not much more money, but should be a significant upgrade.
