A Turntable That Keeps Vinyl Simple

Buying your first turntable should be exciting. Unfortunately, too often it becomes stressful. People spend more time reading about setups than actually listening to music on vinyl. The U-turn Audio Orbit Special Turntable (Gen 2) embraces simplicity. It only has the features you need so you can listen to your favorite albums.

We love it because of how easy it is to set up and use. Throw it together, drop your favorite record on the platter, and enjoy. It’s turntables like this that remind us just how approachable vinyl can be. Whether you’re a beginner or returning to vinyl after years away, the Orbit Special is welcoming. When designing two-channel systems with our home theater design tool, we often recommend an uncomplicated turntable like this for enthusiasts that want great sound without intimidation or complexity.

Built to Let the Music Speak

U-turn chose solid hardwood for the plinth. It gives the turntable a classic look that will last for decades. But it also serves as a solid foundation that helps minimize vibration. Think of a house — without a good foundation, the rest of the structure has nothing to hold it up. Everything from the motor to the platter benefits from being mounted to a dense, hardwood platform.

The belt-drive and isolated motor build off of that sturdy foundation. By mechanically separating the source of vibration, your records will sound cleaner. Quieter. More natural. There’s no added “character” to get in the way of your music. The U-turn Audio Orbit Special Turntable lets your records sound the way they should.

Fine Listening, Right Out of the Box

We’re simplifying things, but don’t mistake that for low performance. The tonearm is precision built for accurate tracking. It comes with room to upgrade your cartridge as you delve deeper into the world of audio. And yes, there is even a built- in phono preamp option if you want to connect directly to powered speakers or a receiver.

The Orbit Special will continue to serve you well as you expand your system. Designed for easy living your love of music, it’s the type of turntable that grows with you. Start with a basic stereo system or build up to a dedicated listening room, the U-Turn Audio Orbit Special fits every enthusiast’s needs.
