#U turn orbit upgrade
For first-time turntable users or those with a slightly shaky tendency, this could make this turntable a little more daunting to use as I understand it though, there is an option to upgrade to an optional cue lever.

One potential negative of the U-Turn Orbit Plus is its manual system – meaning that you have to manually lift, lower and move the tonearm to the relevant position. It comes with a counterweight and anti-skate. It also uses the 0A2 tonearm which is known to have very low disturbance. Remember, the quality of the cartridge is crucial to the sound quality you hear through the turntable! You can however, upgrade the cartridge if you find something that better suits your needs. The OM5e is considered a “neutral” cartridge which therefore means it is suited to most genres – a very good standard cartridge.
Ortofon is a very reputable brand in the turntable cartridge world, and the diamond stylus means that it has long endurance so you don’t have to worry about replacing it often. The Orbit Plus boasts having the Ortofon OM5e cartridge as standard, with a diamond stylus. With belt driven, there is more isolation from the motor’s vibrations and for me, direct drive turntables are most useful for DJing and mixing records – so for audiophiles looking to listen to their favourite albums, a belt drive turntable fits the bill perfectly. There is a lot of debate around whether belt drive or direct drive is the better system for turntables. The Orbit Plus is a belt driven turntable, meaning that the motor is not directly placed under the platter, but beside it, as can be clearly seen, and has the ability to switch between 33 and 45 rpm record speeds.
Three legs may sound out of the norm, but they claim that the three rubber legs provide greater stability than the usual four legs you’re used to, and hence more noise isolation. The Orbit Plus sports high quality materials, with the casing made from one piece, supported by three legs. However, in my opinion it’s still an important factor, and those who are fans of a minimal design will most likely enjoy the look of the U-Turn Orbit Plus. Whilst aesthetic design of a turntable is often dismissed as an important factor by some audiophiles. The turntable delivers good sound quality, and its simple design and unique functionalities make it a turntable that many audiophiles will love. U-Turn Audio is based in Massachusetts and each turntable is handmade, with the employee who assembled it signing the product before you get it – a nice touch we think. It sports a sleek minimal design and manual belt drive, with the option for a built in pre-amp, that enables you to listen to your favourite records in no time at all. The Orbit Plus is an American made turntable from U-Turn Audio it’s the mid-range product (sitting between the Orbit Basic and Orbit Special).
