U-TURN Orbit (GEN 2) ANALOG BLISS for LESS!

For newbies or maybe a second 'table, the U-Turn Orbit (GEN 2) makes a lot of sense!

I just love when you talk about the music you listened to when reviewing the products. Its not just educational, its enlightening 😊

Steve, thanks for what you do. You are, without question, the best audiophile reviewer on YouTube. Straightforward, honest and plenty of personality, without trying real hard. I love and look forward to your content, and again, thank you.

I love that you still speak to the consumer and don’t try to be the voice of the “product of the month” like Darko and Robinson. I like those guys but they always seem to review the same products at the same time. With you I feel like I’m back at The Stereo Exchange speaking to the guy who gets me. Thanks for sticking to your own style - shirts and all!

Bought an Orbit in 2015, it was my gateway back into vinyl after about 30 years away from vinyl. It sounded great!

Since then, I’ve moved up to a Rega P8. But I still have the Orbit and it still sounds fantastic.

I’m thinking about getting a loaded Gen 2 Orbit or a Theory for my second system.

I have had exceptional customer service from the Uturn folks. It’s a great company.

It's nice that regular people can get good-quality gear. I bought all my stuff used and it took me years to put it together. When theirs a will theirs a way.

Steve's got the coolest wardrobe!

Another informative vid. Thx. I bought the Theory a while back partly because of your review. Btw, I really enjoy your music selections. A real bonus to your viewers.

Another great show, Steve! Love the way you talk about the feel of a turntable— one of the few things left in audio that is not a fingerprint control! I too have that Junior Wells record and agree completely. My near 40 year old Linn Axis turntable (with modern upgrades) is a joy. Long live vinyl. Thank you for sharing!

That is one of the most classic "systems of the day" that I've seen on here. Kudos to the owner who put that together.

I’ve been very happy with my u-turn gen 1. Thanks for the video.

There have only been 2 shows Ive watched on the regular; Cheers and Audiophilliac. I miss Coach, but I get Steve! Thank you for the hours of enjoyment!

I have a gen 1 I bought a couple years ago and I am very happy with it, for all the same reasons as the review describes - great product!

Budget buster indeed. I was researching a small 2nd turntable and was going to go for something basic... well, you convinced me. It busted my budget a bit, but I think it's going to be perfect for the room I am setting up. So customizable!

Your videos are amazing. Thank you for making them. Keep up the great work!

[joeolejar]

Sounds like just what I was waiting for. Great sound for less than it would take to replace the cartridge on my Beogram 3404.

[KITFLETCH]

Great review: the Rega Planar 1 is very similar to this basic U-Turn sounds and looks like a close competitor. I’ve heard the Rega and I love the sound it produces. These entry level turntables are amazing. Would love to hear this one!

I love how you swap paintings and shirts, Steve

I have a U-Turn Orbit Custom purchased around 5 years ago with their Gen 1 tonearm for a budget system. Mine had a bearings issue where it skipped about 3 minutes into play. I sent it back and not only did they replace the tonearm, but their 2nd generation arm had just been released so I received that one instead. My table was shipped back, repaired, and returned to me in under a week, great customer service. The table now resides in my den, and I recently replaced the original Ortofon 5e cartridge (with OM 20 Stylus upgrade) with an SAE 1000 E high output moving coil cartridge. Wow! It was like having a brand new turntable. As basic as the Oribit is, it's quite capable of handling a higher end cartridge and letting it shine (as Michael Fremer thought in his review years ago).

As a final upgrade I may just buy those aluminum and sorthobane leveling feet they now offer or those that a third party makes that are a bit less expensive (and come in silver). Mine has the original built in Pluto phono stage which is OK, but I never really used it having much better externals to play with. I currently have this Orbit Plus going out to the superb Park Audio Puffin DSP. I've also used it with the Lounge Audio LCR Gold.

Dear Steve! Like your videos! I grew up with a lot of american hifi gear. However, today the most valuable turntables are made in austria, switzerland, Japan or germanyi

Steve, you're not allowed to mention, upgrading cables, you'll have the snake oil police after you, you know they have cloth ear's 😃, great video as usual!!!
